^VttKtt*
Considerable prominence has been given of late to the
neoessity and usefidness of publishing full and trustworthy
records of Church work.
The Committee directing the publication of this Book are
encouraged to believe that it has tended in many ways not
only to remove prejudice and disarm opposition on the part
of those who may have hitherto formed misconceptions of the
position and work of the Church, but also to stimulate zeal
among those who desire her welfare and the extension of her
influence over the national life.
Though the arrangement is identical with that of former
years, the Book has been thoroughly revised throughout, and
to a very large extent re -written.
It may be well briefly to call attention to the subjects
which have been dealt with for the first time.
With regard to Church Extension, a comprehensive
review has been furnished of the growth of the Church in
the diocese of Manchester during the last twenty-five years*
For the same period summaries have been prepared, showing-
in detail what efforts Churchmen have made for the spiritual
and moral welfare of the people in the Towns of Sheffield^
Wolverhampton, Preston, Hastings, and Northampton. In
each case the report has been prepared by those who had
access to the materials for furnishing the required informa-
tion ; and in Preston, as an instance of the care taken in
vi 'preface.
compiling these records, the Vicar was assisted by a statis-
tical committee specially appointed for the purpose.
Among other indications of the revival of spiritual life
throughout the Church, it is not unimportant to emphasize
the provision recently made in many quarters for bringing
together the Laity engaged in the work of the Church for
services of a devotional character ; accordingly we have fur-
nished a short account of Retreats and Quiet Days for
Church- workers .
By the constitution of the House of Laymen the Church
has now given wider scope for a practical share on the
part of the Laity in the administration of Church affairs :
the summary of the proceedings of this newly-formed body
will be foimd following the records of the Southern House
of Convocation.
As the subject of Church Patronage has occupied so
much attention in common with many other schemes of
Church Reform, it has been thought well that some infor-
mation should be furnished with regard to it. We have
had communications with official persons in the sister
Churches of Ireland, Scotland, and America, who have very
kindly described the methods by which Church Patronage
is regulated in each case.
The most important work which we have ventured to
undertake during the year is that of institutrug an inquiry
from each separate parish of England and Wales upon
various points connected with Church Organisation and
Finance. The work was undertaken with the expressed
approval of the Archbishops and Bishops, and has naturally
involved very great labour and expense. La an undertaking
so entirely novel it was not likely that we could expect to
obtain the co-operation of all or to secure absolute complete-
'deface. vii
Hess ; the reeult of the inquiry, therefore, as it is published
can only be said to indicate very generally the nature and
extent of the work of the Church throughout the country,
whilst the facts may be more perfectly represented in future
years should it seem desirable to repeat such an inquiry.
With regard to the records of work contained in this
book which have previously appeared, we would only add
that they have all been carefully reviewed, with the object of
supplying omissions which have been pointed out.
The Committee have again to thank those who have con-
tributed to the completeness and value of this publication, by
the assistance they have rendered to the Editor in placing
information at his disposal. Though the Clergy generally
have very readily responded to applications made to tliem,
our gratitude is especially due to Prebendary Ainslie ; Revs.
Canons Crosse, Tonge, Hughes, Wigram, and Jellett ; to
the Revs. J. T. JefFcock, J. H. Rawdon, J. Hargrove, W.
Odom, S. Darwin-Fox, C. F. Wright, E. McClure, J. Duncan,
H. G. Dickson, N. Brady, G. H. Clay, J. Crabbe, E. P.
Sketchley, W. Tatlock, U.S.A., the Chaplain-General of the
Army, the Chaplain of the Fleet, Mr. G. A. Spottiswoode,
and Mr. Eugene Stock.
The Committee would desire specially to recognise the
kind co-operation of the Rural Deans in the compilation of
the statistical returns to which we have previously referred.
To the Editors of Diocesan Calendars, to the Bisliops'
Secretaries, and Registrars, the thanks of the Committee are
also due.
Whatever results may ultimately follow fi-om the effort
of those who are leading the present agitation for its Dis
establishment and Disendowment, it must be evident that a
more complete accjuaintance with the work of the CVvwY«i\i \^
viii 'preface.
ite Bereral departments will not only furnish an answer to
the misrepresentations which are too commonly made, but
will give encouragement and confidence to those who may
be called upon to take part in the defence of the Church at
any crisis she may have to pass through.
It is sometimes urged that the cause of the Church is
damaged by the publication of ^statistics, as they have often
been misquoted or misinterpreted by those who are not
finendly to us. We are not concerned to answer such an
objection as this. Our object is simply to put before the
people a full and faithful account of the Church's labours, so
as to enable them to form an intelligent and right judgment
as to the fairness and wisdom of the proposals which are
made for weakening her influence throughout the land.
Communications regarding errors and omissions, and
suggestions for the extended usefulness of this work, should
be addressed to the Honorary Editor, the Rev. Frederick
Bumside, Rector of Hertingfordbury, Hertford.
Note. — We regret that for want of space we are com-
pelled to defer the publication of a revised Summary of the
Constitution of Diocesan Conferences, which has been pre-
pared with great labour by Archdeacon Maltby. For the
same reason our report upon the subject of Parochial
Councils is postponed.

greater proportion of the matter of which these pages treat, yet further

This statement represents an endeavour on the part of the committee of the
Official Yeae-Book to ascertain what has been contributed by members of the
Church of England during the last quarter of a century to the various branches of
Christian work indicated by the following summary.
The statement may be accepted as perfectly accurate, inasmuch as the figures
liave been tabulate<l from returns made by those officially representing the societies
and institutions that have been severally dealt with. It will be seen, however, from
the explanations appended that the statement is by no means an exhaustive repre-
sentation of the Church's voluntary offerings within the given period, as it will be
clear to all that it would be impossible to gather the sum of contributions flowing
through private cliannels or devoted by Churchmen to 80cietiei<, institutious, and
charities of a general and unsectarian character.

XXFLAHATIOHS OF THE FOLLOWDTG SUICIIABY.
I. — ^Tlie Svmmary ii ineliiiiTe of and confioed to Societies and Institutions
organised and administered by the Church of England alone. Eveiy cure has been
taken to prevent any over-statement of facts. 'Balances carried forward* from
previous years have, of course, been deducted from the return of the Annual Income
in every instance, Dividends and Interest from the investment of legacies and such
like voluntary offerings being included.
With regard to the figures representing the expenditure upon Church building
and restoration, the endowment of Benefices and the erection of Parsonage-houses,
this total has been arrived at after a careful examination of Lord Hampton's return,
the Parliamentary Reports of the Ecclesiastical Commission and Queen Anne*s Bounty,
and with the practical experience of the Editor of the Year- Book, after a three
years* systematic inquiry made throughout the Church in reference to this special
branch of Church work. In arriving at the general result as it is given, deduction has
been made of grants devoted from the funds of the several Church-building
•and Extension Societies included under the third division of this Summary relating
to Home Missions.
n. The Summary ii exelusiTe—
(1) Of certain diistinctive Church Societies, Institutions, and Charities, concerning
which the Committee have, for the present, been unable, from various circumstances,
to obtain information.
^2) Of all contributions devoted to parochial purposes, such as the maintenance
le Assistant-Clergy (over and above sums contributed to the Additional Curates*
Society and Church Pastoral- Aid), Church Services, Institutions of a local character,
the relief of the sick, and such like objects.
(8) Of funds devoted to the founding and maintenance of Middle Class Schools.
(4) Of all contributions devoted to societies and institutions distinctly unseo-
tarian in their aim and. administration to which Churchmen give largely, such as the
Bible Society, Beligious Tract Society, London City Mission ; also Orphan Asylums,
Hospitals, Reformatories, and such like institutions as lay claim to general support.
The institutions of a philanthropic description, included under Division VI. of this
summary, being confined to* those organised and maintained by the Church.
(6) ^e Sisterhoods of the Church (with very few exceptions) preferring to with-
hold or unable to give the information, the return of their incomes can scarcely be
•considered as embraced by this inquiry.
It may be stated, for the satisfaction of those who may read and use these
figures, that tiiey have been tabulated from a twenty-five years* return of income
made by the secretaries or treasurers of at least 400 different societies and institu-
tions, and tested throughout by an experienced actuary.
^om these explanations' we may fairly conclude, that though it can be accurately
asserted that Churchmen have within the last quarter of a century contributed over
81,000,000^. to the several specified branches of Christian work at home and abroad,
this sum cannot be said in any way to represent the fuU measure of the Church's
voluntary offerings for the spiritual and social well-being of the nation.

Explanatory Note to Division V.

tion of Higher Eduoation in the building and maintaining of middle-claas bcYiooVa.

m.—The value of land given as school sites is not, as a rule, included in the
above table. VarionB items of school and coll^fe income given in the returns from
which the figrures have been taken, are also omitted, because it is doubtful how far
such income has been derived from purely Church sources. Tlic actual total expen-
diture of the Church on Elementary Education during the 25 years has probably
considerably exceeded 22,000,0(X)Z.

RAXXSnCAL SUMIEABT 07 TEI WOXK OF THE CHUBCH DT BHOLAVB
AHD WALES FOB THE YBAB 1885.
Bt its eonstitotion, the Einsoopal Charch of America systematicaUy prorides ftor a triennial
inqoiiy throughout the pariflhes qS.iiB eeTfinl Dioceses with a view to present in statistical
flommaries the results of the whole woik of the C!hnrch, this being done, not for displav, but
instruction. It is in predselj the same spirit and for a like object that tiie Committee of the
Officiai* Tear-Book have recently instituted a similar inquiry throughout the parishes of
England and Wales. Before entering upon this undertaking the proposal was submitted to the
ju(%ment of the Archbisbofw and Bishops, who ezpxeesed their approval, and by letter (with
<vne exception) urged its importance and invited the co-operation of the dlergy in their
respective Dioceses.
Accordingly a form of questions was sent to each Incumbent through the Rural Deans, and
the remilta of the replies received are contained in the tabular records which follow.

__■ ipli8bed,it ia needful to pointout one or two reasons why it
TTbntafter all a partial review.
1 . THie */orm of inquiry* ihough constructed with contiderable care and mbmitted to thejudg-
mentof 9tvtnd praeticai men, hat yet evidently in §ome eatet been mitunfkrgtood, consequently
kading m a wuaturt to iamperftct rtjolies,
2. Though the co-operation of the Clergy has been far beyond what might have been expected,
and at least SO per cent, have answered^ there are still many whOffor various reasons, have not
3. In several cases no replies have been received in coneequence of the living being vacant, or
because the Incumbent had so recently come into residence that he was unable to obtam the infor-
tnaiiom asked for,
I. Work. — In reference to the non-returning parishes, it will be seen from the Statistical
Tables that the largest proiK)rtion is found in the Dioceses composed for the most part of acri-
cnltural districts, where many of the parishes are exceedingly small ; and yet, on the otner
hand, in some of the more densely populated dioceses a considerable number of important
pari^thes are unrepresented, and consequently affect to a proportionate degree the figures
relating to Baptisms, Communicants, Church accommodation, Sunday Schools, voIuntar>^
omtributions, and more or less to other branches of Church work we have specified.
II. Finance. — As to voluntary contributions, it will be noticed that in the case of the fol-
lowing Diocese*, viz. Canterbury' York, Winchester, (Chester, Exeter, and Truro, the figures
are given in a form distinct from that wc have adopted, the reason being that, as each of these
Dioceses had previously created its own machinery for obtaining these restilts, it not only
sremed unwise to publish two independent sets of figures, but unfair to put the Clergy to this
double trouble. We have, therefore, published the figures as they were presented to the
i^veral Dirx;esan Conferences ; still, we may point out this disadvantage, that, as the method
and scof>c of the inquiry are scarcely identical in any one instance, we have been unable to
present onr statement with the uniformity wc could have wished.
Dealing with purelv voluntary ofierings, we were careful to state in our form of inquirv
that all funds derived from such sources as the Ecclesiastical Commission and Queen Anne's
B4iimty should be excluded ; and for the same reason, in calculating the offerings of the Church
for the supjiort of the iKx>r through parochial clubs, all payments made by depositors were
not to be taken into account
In forming any opinion upon the totals of voluntary contributions it should be remembered
that the year 1885 was one of very exoei)tional depresnion in every department of commerce
and agriculture.
In conclusion, we are fully sensible of the great labour this inquirj' has imposed upon the
Rural Deans and a large number of the Parochial Clergy, and would, therefore^ take this
opportunity of acknowlcdjjfing the coui^tc^y and kindness with which thej* have responded.
We now venture to commend our work to general attention, in the hope that it may be found
useful in manv ways in leading Churchmen on the one hand to take courage froni her \nc-
«7ess, and on tliie otiier to self-examination as to the great opportunities of spiritual'work and
benevolence within her reach, which she may yet improve.

II.— FINANCE (A).
Explanation op the Following Summary.
With regard to the sums included in this table it should be remembered that in
the following respects they only partially represent the offerings of Churchmen for
the specified year :
I. The tables include only such contributions as were paid through parocliial
organisations, as for obvious reasons it was impossible to record the sums paid by
individuals direct to central societies.^
II. The tables do not include contributions of Churchmen to the building and
general maintenance of schools, this item being purposely excluded because it was
felt that the returns made to the Education Department fairly, though not ex-
haustively, represent the amount raised by Churchmen for this object.
III. That though about 80 per cent, of the parishes in England and Wales have
replied, in many cases the voluntary offerings were entirely unrecorded, or were but
partially returned, whilst the amount which the 20 per cent, of unreturning parishes
would represent has yet to be accounted for.

More than three hundred and sixty students have been assistetl since the
commencement of this Society.

[DIOCESAN ORGANISATIONS.]
The following short records present some idea of the ezistiDg ma*
chinery in the specified Dioceses for giving assistance to thoao who
would offer themselves as candidates for Holy Orders. There are
§ievical ^bucaiion |li5 Societies.
doubtless, however, many private efforts made in other Dioceses to
acfx>mpli8h the same end.
DI0CS8S OF CAKTEBBUBT.
The Canterbury Clerical Education Fund was formed an the result of a
resolution passed at the Diocesan Conference in the year 1877. The object of
the Fund is to contribute towards the education of candidates for Holy Orderq
resident in or connected with the Diocese of Canterbury, whose private means
arc insufficient for the purpose, but who may be recommended to the com*
mittee as thoroughly deserving of assistance. During the years 1884-85 two
annual grants only have been made. Of thirteen grants made since the founda-
tion of the Fund, nine have been paid off, and three of the receivers of them
have been ordained in the Diocese. Applications have been often refused for
want of sufficient funds.
All commnnications to be addressed to Rev. Canon Moore, The Oaks,
Faversham ; or Rev. Canon Rontledge, St. Martin's Vicarage, Canterbury.
DI0CB8S OF CABLISLE.
Tlie committee of the Clerical Training Fund has been in existence since
the Diocesan Conference of 1874, and has given help to twenty-three young men.
Of these, twelve are now in Holy Onlers, two holding livings in the Diocese. The
Fund is only intended for those who belong to the Diocese, and for those who
arc going to one of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, or Durham. Each
case is taken on its own merits, and such assistance given as the Committee
think is require<l.
Communications should be addressed to the Ven. Archdeacon Pres-
cott, The Abbey, Carlisle.
DIOCESE OF EXETEB.
The Exeter Theological Students' Fund is a provision made by the late Bishop
Phillpotts, and arises from a gift contributc<l by hiui which lias accumulated to
the capital sum of 14,800/. The Fund is administered by the Dean and Chapter,
who, aiter examination, awarrl grants of 50/. a year to graduates or literates, who
desire to pursue their theological studies at the Universities after having taken
the degree of B.A. ; the candidates undertaking to present themselves for Ordina-
tion, and to serve for two years at least in the Diocese of Exeter or Truro.
This fund has been further augmented by the sum of 5,000/. bequeathed by
the late Dean of Exeter.
Communications should be addressed to the Ven. the Archdeacon of
Exeter, Sowton Rectory.
THEOLOGICAL COLLEGES.
As in previous years we have presented detailed information respecting
the general routine of study and training in our Theological Schools,
it is not thought necessary to treat the subject at any length again, but a
summarised statement of their constitution and working is subjoined.
CHUBCH HOSTEL AKD SCHOOL OF DIVIHITT, Bangor.
This work has been recently undertaken with a view to provide the advantages
of Religious Instruction in a Church House for such of the North Wales College
Students as may wish for it. Opportunities are afforded for Parochial work.

Ifc is generally knowa that conferences upon the training of candidates
for Holj Orders have at intervals been hold, and though no meeting has
taken place since June 1884, the Committee of the Conference still con-
tinues its deliberations from time to time with a view to promote the
objects for which it exists.
Communications regarding the Conference should be addressed to the
Hon. Secretary, the Rev, Prebendary Worlledgo, The Clergy School,
Leeds.
THE CLERGY TRAINING SCHOOL, CAMBRIDGE.
The following is an official statement of the general objects and ope-
ration of a movement organised in Cambridge with a view to direct the
intellectual and devotional training of candidates for Holy Orders : —
A need is felt by many graduates who arc looking forward to Ordination of a
systematic preparation for their life's work, which does not demand the sacrifice of
the peculiar advantages afforded by residence in the University. Such preparation
must be: (1) Devotional; (2) Doctrinal; (3) Practical.
To meet this need a Society has been formed under the direction of tlie present
Regius Professor of Divinity as President, with whom is associated as Vice-President
a clerg>'man of long parochial experience. The President, Vice-President, and Tutor
undertake to give spiritual help and counsel, to direct the intellectual study of
members, and to arrange for training in practical jxirochial work.
Regular services are provided as a moans of strengthening a devotional habit of
life, and of uniting more closely those who have the same high office in view. Mem-
bers are expected to attend the service in their own CJoUege Chapel at least once
every day.
There is a staff of Lecturers, consisting for the most part of Fellows of Colleges.
Courses of Lectures are given in the following, amongst other subjects : (a) The
Prayer Book and Articles ; (b) The Historical Position of the English Church with
reference to Doctrine ; (o) Composition of Sermons ; (d) Pastoral Theology ; (e)
Elocution ; and in other subjects (c.ff, those required for the preliminary examination
of candidates for Holy Orders) on which lectures may from time to time be needed
to supplement existing teaching.
The Vice-President assists in the general superintendence of practical work
undertaken by members in connexion with existing agencies or otherwise, in concert
with the Vicars of parishes in Cambridge or the neighbourhood.
The Society commenced its work in the Lent Term of 1881.
Membership is restricted to graduates, but undergraduates may, with the sanction
of the authorities of their College, be accepted as Associates, and admitted to some of
the privileges of members.
Members will not be admittetl, except under special circumstances, who cannot
promise residence for two terms at least; but it is strongly recommended that a
course of thi*ee terms should be kept where possible.
Provision has been made for continuing the course of preparation during the
months of July and August, which will be reckoned as a term.
Teaehlng Staff.— Rev. Canon Westcott, D.D., President; Rev. S. E. Perry, M.A.,
Vice-President; Rev. F. H. Chase, M.A., Tutor, with about eight Fellows of
Colleges.
Applications for membership or associatesbip should be made to the
Secretary, the Rev. R. Appleton, Trinity College, either personally or by
letter, if possible before the end of the term preceding that in which it is
Bought to join the Sooiety.
"^ircUmtnarB Examination.
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES FOR
HOLY ORDERS.
This examination has been established cbiefl.v with a view to aid in promoting a
more systematic and better distributed course of preparation for Holy Orders. It is
conducted under the control of a Council consisting of the Divinity Professors of
Oxford and Cambridge, two Graduates in Divinity from each University nominated
by the two Archbishops, and Examining Chaplains, one being nominated by each of
the Bishops, who accept the results of the examination.
The examination was established in 1874 ; and its objects are expressed in the
following extract from the original memorandum : —
' It is felt by many as a serious evil that the minds of candidates should be en-
grossed np to the last moment before Ordination with the anxieties of their examin-
ation, so that they have little opportunity for quiet thought at this critical time.
The preliminaiy examination will meet this want by enabling the Bishops to relieve
their own examinations of some of those subjects by which the intellectual qualifi-
cations of candidates are tested, and to give a more devotional tone to the period
immediately preceding Ordination. But it has not been thought to be within the
province of the preliminary examination to deal with such subjects as doctrine,
pastoral care, and a general knowledge of Holy Scripture.'
* The establishment of a general examination, open to candidates for Ordination
in different dioceses, can scarcely fail to raise the level of theological attainments
among the English Clergy generally.
•The Preliminary Examination may likewise be expected to act beneficially on
Theological Colleges, by furnishing an external standard, such as many of those
interested in their workir g have desired to see established, to stimulate and direct
the studies, as well as to tist the proficiency, of their students.'
The examiners, who must be eitlier graduates in Tlieology or Masters of Arts in
Priests' Orders, are appointed annually by the Council.
Examinations are held twice every year, about Easter and in October, at such
different centres as the Council from time to time determines, with a view to suit as
far as possible the convenience of candidates. Due notice is given beforehand of
the times and places of examination.
The examinations are conducte<l by printed papers, in the following subjects : —
(1) The Bible generally. This paper will contain questions on (a) the contents of
the Old Testament ; (b) the contents of the New Testament ; (e) the introduction to
the selected books of the Old and New Testaments. (2) The Old Testament; selected
portions. (3) Tlie New Testament in Greek : selected portions. (4) The Creeds,
and the Thirty-nine Articles : historj' and contents. (5) Tlic I'rayer Book : history and
contents. (6) Ecclesiastical History : selected portions. (7) A selected work or
works of a Latin Ecclesiastical writer, together with a passage for translation into
English from some Latin author not previously specified. (8) A voluntary paper on
Elementary Hebrew with passages for translation from a selected portion of the Old
Testament.
Due notice is given beforehand by the Council of the subjects selected from time
to time, which are the same in the two examinations of each year.
Tlie examinations are open (a) To grailnates of the English Universities ; (ft) to
members of Theological Colleges in connection with the Church of England, who
have at least entered on the last term of the complete course and are recommended
by the Principal ; (c) to any other person who may be nominated by a Bishop with
a view to Ordination in his own diocese.
The names of the candidates who satisfy the examiners are placetl alphabetically
in three classes.
A list of those candidates who liave satisfied the examiners is published within
three weeks after the close of the examination. Copies of this list are sent to
* A list of appointed subjects for examination up to recent date will be found in the reference sec-
tion, with instmotions to candidates for Holy Orders.
8 'gtefreafs for f^c ^iergp.
all the Bishops w)io take part in the scheme, and certificates are granted to the
fenccessful candidates.
A record of the performance of each candidate in each subject is preserved. A
Ck)py of the record will be communicated to the candidate himself, and, on applica-
tion, to the Bishop to whom he may present himself for Ordination, and in the case
of members of Theological Colleges to the Principal of the College by whom they
are recommended.
The Archbishops of Canterbury and York and all the English Bishops, with the
exception of the Bishops of Worcester and of Sodor and Man, have agreed to the
following arrangements respecting Ordination examinations, whii^ came into general
operation in 1886 : — ^'(l) That the same special subjects for examination be required
from candidates for Deacon's Orders in the Old Testament, New Testament, Koclesi-
astical History, and Latin. (2) That the general subjects of the Bishops' examina-
tion be — (a) the contents of the Bible ; (b) the Creeds and Thirty-nine Articles
(history, text, and subject-matter) ; (r) the Prayer Book (history «nd contents).
(3) That the subjects for each year's examination be agreed upon by a Joint Com-
mittee, consisting of four Bishops (the Bishops of Durham, Winchester, Gloucester
and Bristol, and Chester) and four members of the Council of Management of the
Preliminary Examination.'
The papers set in late examinations, with the regnlations for entrance,
syllabus, ijbc., may be had of Deighton, Bell, & Co., Cambridge, and
Parker & Co., Oxford. The Rev. E. G. King, D.D., Madingley Vicarage,
Cambridge, is the Secretary of the Council.
EMBER SEASONS, RETREATS, AND QUIET DAYS.
As the standard of personal holiness in the Priesthood is the index to all
spiritual life and growth throughout the Church it is interesting to mark
the opportunities now so increasingly afforded the Clergy for recalling
the responsibilities of their Ordination vows, and for the reviving of their
spiritual life, in special seasons of retirement. The short records of
Retreats and Quiet Days which follow, must not be accepted as represent-
ing all that has been done in the past year in this direction, they only
indicate the general progress of this movement in so far as we have been
permitted to trace it. •
It is more or less known that in the Diocese of Lichfield the Bishop
has very pointedly recognised the need of fostering a higher tone of
spiritual life and ministerial faithfulness among the Clergy. Wo are not
at present in the position to say how far the means adopted have pro-
moted the end in view, but the following Rules of the wder will show
how valuable an influence such a provision must have upon clerical life,
if anything like faithful compliance with their requirements could be
secured.
THE PASTOBAL OBDEE OF THE HOLY GHOST.
Enlei :—
1. To devote a fixed time daily to Private Devotion, including Prayer, Interces-
sion, and Meditation.

7. On one of the days of each Ember Season to read over on our knees the vows
and exhortations of the Ordinal and to give some time to special self-examination
and prayer.
8. Once in each year to devote at least one day to retirement from the world, if
possible at some Retreat or Clerical Conference, for the reviving of our spiritual life,
and for higher instruction in the ways of God and in the work of our calling.
9. Daily to endeavour ourselves to follow the blessed steps of His most holy Hfe,
Whose we are, and Whom we serve, and to adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in
all things.

Ordination.]

CHAPTER n.
Tffl! HOME MISSION WORK OF THE CBURCU,
SECTION I.—HOME MISSION WORK.
CHURCH EXTENSION AND BUILDING [SOCIETIES,
"BISHOPS' FUNDS/' CHURCH EXTENSION INfflLARQE
TOWNS.
It is the purport of this section briefly to survey the work'^of Church
Extension from records of the progress of ordinary diocesan agencies and
of other movements specially designed to deal with more urgent wants
in some of the populous centres of England and Wales.
It is no doubt mainly due to the example of the late Archbishop Tait
in constituting the Bishop of London's Fund, and to the vigour with
which the movement was carried on, that we are able to speak of the
adoption and success of similar efforts in the Dioceses of York, Win-
chester, Durham, Rochester, St. Alban's, Newcastle, Llaudafl*, St. David's,
Worcester, Lincoln, Peterborough, Bipon, and Gloucester and Bristol.
In each of these Dioceses the Chui*ch has specially inquired into the
spiritual destitution of the larger towns, and the earnest appeals that
have been made for assistance have resulted in a growth of Church
Extension far exceeding the most sanguine hopes.
In addition to the reports of diocesan work of recent date it has been
thought well from time to time to trace in different dioceses the history
of Church Extension over a longer period ; such illustrations have been
given in previous volumes with reference to the Dioceses of Chester,
Liverpool, Peterborough, Durham, and Winchester. Similar records
will be found in the present section of the Sees of Manchester and St.
David's. The work of Church Extension in some of our large towns
for a similar period is also dealt with.
To form an adequate idea of this work it is needful to review the
labours of the Church during the last quarter of a century or more, and
for this reference should be made to the under-mentioned records pre-
sented in detailed and tabular form in the statbtical portion of this
book.
I. LOSB HAKPTOK'S RETTTRK OF CHURCH BUILDINO AND RESTORAHOK,
18iO-1874.
From this Parliamentary statement it will be found that within a period of
thirty-four years a sam of 25,548 J032. was spent upon the building and restoration
of cathedrals and churches, and it must be remembered that this return did not deal
rtrf^A any work carried out under a cost of less than 600/., so that the total sum cannot
9|ttircl^ ^xfension— Piocese of ^ancl^esfcir. 17
bj any means be ieg;aided as folly representing the complete outlay daring the
specified period.
n. BTATSXSHT OF X8TI1CATED 8XT1C8 EXPEKDED FBOM 1872-1881.
This table presents returns of the outlay upon church building and restoration
in certain Dioceses, from which these facts could be ascertained with something
like completeness and reliable certainty.
UL A DETAILED EECOBD OF CHITBCH BITILDING AKD EESTOBATIOK,
EVDOWMEVT AKD PAB80KA0E H0TTSE8, FOB THE YEAB 1884.
This statement is the result of an effort which has been made with considerable
care and labour to ascertain what was contributed during last year for the erection
of new churches, and the enlargement, restoration, and adornment of existing build-
ings, the endowment of district parishes, and the erection of parsonage houses. In the
absence of any records from which such facts as these can at present be gathered
and tabulated with absolute accuracy and completeness, the only course open was
for the Editor to make use of every means within reach to ascertain in what parishes
suic^ work bad taken place and been completed in the given year, and then to make
a personal implication to each incumbent for the required statistics; the result
tborefore as it appears is fully reliable, though of necessity it cannot be regaled as
absolutely complete. The following summary of moneys contributed to the under-
mentioned specified objects in the year 1884 shows that a sum of nearly a million
and a half was raised for these objects, and it may be asserted with fair accuracy
thai this amount represents the annual expenditure of the Church in this direction
for many years past :
Church building and restoration £1,163,544
Endowment of Benefices 189,587
Farsonage-houses i)5,327
Burial grounds 7,381
£1,455,839
KOTK. — Grants received from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and Queen Anne*s
Bounty have been carefully excluded from this total.
lY. EXPEKDITUBE TTPOK CATHEDBAL8, 1874-1884.
This statement is the result of an inquiry recently made with reference to ex-
penditure upon the restoration and adornment of cathedrals since the year 1874, the
date of Lord Hampton*s return.
DIOCESE OF MANCHESTER.
OEHEEAL DE8CBIPTI0K OF THE COKDITIOKS OF THE DIOCESE.
(Contributed by Canon TONOE.)
m^ Prior to the Reformation the district which forms the Diocese of
fBk Manchester was probably, for the most part, included within the
^jB^^ great Diocese of St. Chad, the seat of whose Bishop was generally at
^ ^^ ' Lichfield, but occasionally at Coventry or Chester. This Diocese in-
cluded almost all the north-west of England, and extended from
Lincolnshire on the east to Gloucestershire on the west, and south-
wards almost as far as London. In 1541 the Diocese of Chester was
formed out of it, being one of the new Sees founded by King
Henry VIII. It was made up of the Archdeaconry of Cheater severed
from the Diocese of Coventry and Lichfield, and of the Archdeaconry
of Richmond severed from York. The first Bishop of the new
Diocese was John Bird, consecrated Suffragan-Bishop of Penrith in 1537, appointed
Bishop of Bangor in 1539, and thence translated to Chester in 1541 by \.\v^ 1^axi^«
letters-patent which established the Diocese, A continuous sncceBslon ot ^\^o^ ol
1 8 ^f)xttc^ #«fcnston— S^ioccsc of ^STanc^esfeir.
this Diocese is on record, from Bishop Bird to the j)resent occupant of the See.
Within the bounds of the Diocese were inchided the whole of the counties of
Chester and Lancashire, together with portions of Westmoreland and Yorkshire,
Flintshire, and Denbighshire.
In l83G the Yorkshire portion of the Archdeaconry of Riclmiond was assigned to
the newly constituted Diocese of Ripon, and the portion of Lancashire north of
Morecambe Bay, and Westmoreland, were assigned to Carlisle.
In 1847 the Diocese of Manchester was formed out of that of Chester.
It was constituted by an Order in Council, dated August 10, 1847, in pursuance of
the provisions of 10 & 11 Victoria, cap. 108: * An Act for Establishing the Bishopric
of Manchester, and amending certain Acts relating to the Ecclesiastical Commis-
sioners of England.* By this onler from and upon September 1, 1847, the Collegiate
Church of Manchester became a Cathedral Church, and the seat of a Bi.shop within
the Province of York, and the Dean and Canons of such Cathedral the Chapter.
The Deaneries of Amoundcrness, Blackburn, ^lanchester, l^yland, and the whole
parish of Leigh in the Deanery of Warrington, all in the county of Lancaster and
Diocese of Chester, together with such parts of the Deaneries of Kendal and Kirkby
Lonsdale, in the same Diocese, as are in tlic same county, were severed from the
Diocese of Chester, and became the Diocese of Manchester.
The Diocese was first divided into two Archdeaconries, • Manchester ' and
* Lancaster/ but a thinl Archdeaconry, called the Archdeaconry of Blackburn, was
afterwards constituted and formed out o£ the Archdciiconry of Manchester.
The Diocese now consists of three Archdeaconries : Manchester, Lancaster, and
Blackburn.
The Archdeaconry of Manchester, founded by Onler in Council, datc<l August 23,
18 13, consists of the Deanery, of Manchester and the whole jxirish of Leigh. The
parish of Leigh is detached from the Deanery of Warrington, and forms part of the
Deanery of Manchester.
The Archdeaconry of Lancaster, foun<led by Order in Council, dated August 10,
1847, consists of the Deanery of Amounderness, and so much of the Deaneries of
Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale as are included in the Diocese of Manchester. The
aforesaid portions of the Deaneries of Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale unit^, constitute
the Deanery of Tunstall.
The Archdeaconry of Blackburn, founded by Order in Council, dated August 13,
1877, consists of the Deaneries of Blackburn and LeyLand, and such portions of the
Deanery of Manchester as are comprised within any of the now parishes in the Rural
Deanery of Whalley.
The full benefits resulting from the creation of this new Diocese cannot bo tabulated,
but the following figures will give sDme idea of the progress which Church extension
has made during the first two Episcopates.
I. CHUBCH EXTENSION UNDER BISHOP LEE.
During the Episcopate of the Bishop from 1848 to December 18G9 : —
One hundred and ten new churches were consecrated ; 20 new churches were built
to replace former buildings ; 163 new district parishes were formed.
Total cost of the erection of the above 130 churches, exclusive of endowment and
cost of site. 542,169/.
Within this period 77,177 additional church sittings were provided, of which
39,568 are free.
II. CHURCH EXTENSION UNDER BISHOP ERASER.
During the Episcopate of the Bishop extending from March 2.">, 1870, to October
22, 1885 :—
One hundred and five new churches were consecrated ; 21 new churches were built
to replace former buildings ; 1 1 7 new district parishes were formed.
Total cost of the erection of the above 126 churches, exclusive of eudovvment and
cost of sites, 952,839/.
Within this period 60,190 additional church sittingg were provided, of which
49,902 are free sittings.

for the first time received a resident clergyman, who is curate of Milton, to which
parish Eastncy belongs, aud an eicellent Mission chapel (St. Colomba's) was
opened there in the summer of 188i>. The Fund gives granta towards the salaries of
two curates for All Saints', one for St. Qeorge's, and one for Eaatney. It also fflres
1201. a year towards the support of the Dioceaan Deaconeasea' Home, which since its

parish of St. Mark's, I'ortsea. The mission work in the great parish of St. Mary, with
Its 30,000, has been carried on independently of tlio Fund, but a conaiderable sum
has been given through its agency for the rebnilding of the Parish Church, towards
which one layman has offered 1G,OOOI.

BISHOP OF LONDON'S FUND.
The design and general workiag of Ibis Fund has been described in
detail in the Official Te^b- book for 1883 and 1881, so that a fur-
ther repetition of these facts is uacalled for. The Diocese of London
contains a population exceeding three millions, and increasing at the
rato of 33,000 annually ; it is for the spiritual needs of the unreached
masses that this Fund is specially intended to provide.
Summary of Work for 1S8S — The Fund has paid the whole
stipend of eight Missionary Clergy, six of whom by means of the
block grant of l.OOOi. paid to the I>ondon Dioceaan Home Mission,
and three others have also been almost wholly maintained by the
Fnnd. The Fund has alao provided the atipends of 2S Scripture
Headers, ID Parochial Mission Women, and G Deaconesses, working under the
various Societies who undertake this class of agency ; besides which grants have
been made for 4 male and 21 female agents working under the direction of the In-
cumbents, and nut in connection vrilh any special society. Asaiatance was given by
a grant of 'diiOL lo the London Lay Helpers' Association. 43rants were made towatds
the erection of two parBonages and towards the enlargement of two eohools. A
very liage number of grants was made towards providing MissJon-baildings and for
^oc^esUt diocesan ^ociefg. 21
the erection o£ permanent chorcbes or in securing sites for these objects. The sums
voted for the different branches of work were: — Missionary Clergy, 1,830/.; Lay
Agents, 3,247/.; Parsonages, 438/.; Schools, 150/.; Mission Baildings, 6,25SI/.;
Churches, 7,008/.
Six new churches were consecrated during the year, five of which had received
contribnticuis from the Fund* During the twenty -one years of the Society's exist-
ence, grants have been made towards the erection of 140 permanent churches, of
which 130 are parochial churches with separate districts and endowments, 7 have been
bnUt as chapels of ease, and 3 were erected to replace old parochial churches which
required rebuilding.
fl^peeial Church jEtepair Fund.— Though not a recognised object of the Bishop's
Fundf the Council has organised a fund for assisting the poorer parishes in their
efforts to keep their churches in proper repair. Although the contributions to this
Special Fund during the eight years of its existence have not reache<l 1,000/., the
Committee have been able to make grants which, while for the most part sadly in-
adequate, have yet been the means of encouraging a considerable expenditure on
the repairs of more than 30 churches.
Ihe income of the Bishop's Fund for 1885 was 18,408/. 14i. Sd., * bringing up the
total expenditure of the Fund since its institution in 1863 to 739,227/. 0#. 3d,

THE DIOCESE OF ROCHESTER.
aOCEESTEB DIOCESAN 80CIETT.
This Society has been formed specially to deal with the needs of
Church extension in South London, and the claims of this enor-
mous district upon the conscience and the generosity of the Dio-
^_«***^^ cese at large are very great indeed. The population of the whole
^^^^^B Diocese is 1,800,000, increasing annually at the rate of 25,000; the
^^B^HB population of South London alone represents at least a million and a
^^^^^1 quarter, and some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the wants
^BP^^ to be dealt with from the following statistical return giving the popu-
^5^]^F lation of the principal districts of the Diocese : — Greenwich and Dept-
ford, population, 134,264; Lewisham and Hatcham, 73,514; Rother-
hithc, 36,000; Bermondsey, 86,000; Southwark, 99,000; Newmgton, 108,000;
Kenniogton, 60,000 ; Cambcr^ell, 186,000; Lambeth, 253,562; Battersea, 107,000;
Wimdsworth, 28,000. In ten years the population of South London has increased
by 298,235 persons. There are individual parishes of 20,000, 15,000, and 10,000 : all
of them from their circimistanceH al^lutely unable to make any independent effort
to sub-divide by the creation of new districts.
Work. — The funds of the Society are wholly or in part devoted to the employ-
ment of 21 Missionary Clergymen (6 of whom are connected with the College and
Public Schools Mission to South London), also 24 Scripture Readers, working
principally in London, but also in the country, and 44 Mission Women. The Public
Schools Missions (the work of which is described in another section of this book)
contribute a sum of at least 2,C(X)Z. in voluntary offerings, and also exert a great
spiritual influenoe for good through the success which has attended the work of the
Clergy at their different Mission Stations.
Tbiaiioe. — The sum of 7,575^. 3*. 2d. was contributed in 1883 for the work of the
Society, and during the last eight years a total of 67,000/. has been subscribed,
exclusive of the 50,000/. raised in the last four years by * The Ten Churches Fund.'
Mr. J. Allan Rolls, the late member for Monmouth, who has large property in South
London, has just pledged himself to contribute a donation of 10,000/. in instalments
of 1,0001. for the work of Church extension in this district. So noble a recognition ol

BISHOP OF ROCHESTEE'S TEH CHTTECHE8 FTTHD.
This Fund was started in the year 1881 with the design of raising at least
60,0002. for the erection of ten new churches in South and South- East London. Tiie
general details of the movement have been previously described, it will suffice now
to say that the aim of the scheme "has been successfully accomplished, with the result
of providing a large increase of church accommodation in districts where it wa*»

being put forward with vigour. By the end of 1886 all the ten churches will have
been completed and consecrate<l.
WILBEEFOECE MEMOEL^ FTTHD.
This Fund originated with a committee of influential Clergy and Laity, held at
Lavington in 1873. At a subsequent meeting it was determined that a Wilberforce
Fund should be raised — (1) For the * maintenance of a body of Clergy for Home
Mission work in the diocese of Winchester, especially for the South London portion
thereof.' The appointment of such Clergy was to be in the hands of the Bishop. (2)
That a suitable house in South London be provided, to be called after Bishop WQber-
force, as a centre for missionary work.
These resolutions were unanimously approved by a public meeting held in the
Congress Hall, Bath, under the presidency of the Bishop of the Diocese, and were
sanctioned by the Bishops of Winchester, Chichester, and Rochester.
In practical compliance with the general terms of these resolutions, the Wilber-
force Mission House has been secured. It is situated in a central position for South
London, and has already proved of great service as a centre for Church work in
this district of the metropolis. Among other advantages which the Mission House
affords, one of great importance is the opportunity provided for the Lay workers of
the Diocese to meet together for instruction in Greek Testament and other branches
of theological study.

BISHOP OF BEDFORD'S FUND.
OM Object. — Tlie East London Church Fand was established in the
^^ year 1880, and is carried on under the direction of the Bishop of
Bedford.
The character of the Fund is distinctly missionary, and its direct
%^/^ object is therefore to increase the number of living agents, clerical
- and lay, that by such instrumentalities the message of the Gospel
of Christ may be effectually carried to the poor and densely popu-
lated parishes in the metropolitan district placed under the charge
of the Bishop of Bedford. This district comprises the parish of
Tottenham, representing in all 105 parishes and mission districts,
containing nearly one nullion souls.
No one having personal knowledge of the needs of East London
can be insensible to the immense importance of giving the Church every possible
facility for carrying on her mission among the people. The spiritual destitution
which abounds coupled with the poverty which exists render the claim of this work
especially urgent. A recent statement by the Bishop of Bedford reports a diminution
of funds ; it is therefore the more important that help should be immediately and
generously given.
The Work of the Pait Tear. — The following grants have been made during 1885:
(1) for 13 Missionary Clergy — to take charge of mission districts, or to fill the places
of incumbents compelled, by age or ill-health, to be absent from their parishes, or
to assist in special mission work ; (2) for 26 additional Clergy, whose stipends are
paid in full by this Fund ; (3) in aid of the stipends of 38 Curates, paid in part by
Societies or from other sources. [N.Ji. — Account must ai^ he tahen ofl Clergymen,
warhhig in miimim digtricts, hut not paid directly hy the Fvnd^ ; (4) for 7 Lay
Readers ; (5) for 30 Mission Women and Parochial Nurses ; ((>) for 44 Deaconesses
and other ladies working in connection with the Deaconesses' Homes, established by
the council at Hackney, Stepney, and Spitalfields. Total, 77 Clei^y and 81 Lay
Workers — 168 living agents. In addition, grants have been made for Special Mission
Ser\'ices which, during the winter months, have been held in churches, mission halls,
and public halls, and during the summer in the open air.
Besults. — (1) The number of Clergy in tlic district has been raised, since 1880,
from 185 to 233, and instead of one Clergymen for every 4,300 people, as in 1880,
there is now one for every 3,200; (2) tlie number of confirmation candidates,
especially of male candidates, has most considerably increased ; (3) the Special
Mission Services have been the means of drawing together large congregations of
habitual non-worshippers, and many men, in consecjuence of these Services, have
attached themselves to the Church; (4) in 25 typical parishes last year there was an
increase of 18 per cent, in number of communicants upon the number of previous
years, with a great increase consequent upon East London Missions.
Immediate Keeds. — To maintain the work at present undertaken about 10,000/.
per annum is needed. The annual receipts last year, however, only amounted to
1^,200/. The annual subscriptions amount to only about 3,500/.
What remains to be accomplished. — It is considered tbat to secure proper
spiritual oversight there should be one Clergyman for every 2,000 persons. Many
additional Clergymen are therefore needed at once ; but in addition, in consequence
of increase of population, fresh needs are every day a^isinf^^ The (.'ouncil believe
that if 14,000/. or 15,000/. per annum were placed at their disposal, they would be
able to a great extent to overtake the arrears of the past, and also to go forward to
meet fresh claims.

DIOCESE OF ST. ALBANS.
BI8H0P OF ST. ALBAH8' EAST LOVDOK FVVD.
Object. — Established 1878, to supply the splritxial needa of the
extreme eastern districts of the metropolis, or ' London in Essex ; *
in succession to the work carried on by the J^ishop of Jjondon's
and Bislio]) of Rochester's Funds in these districts. In 1886 the area
wan extended so as to embrace the parishes around the new Docks at
Tilbury.
Fait Work. — Thirty-one years since, the district east of the river
I^a, comprised in the Deanery of Barking, was almost entirely mnil,
with villjv«?cs scattcreil over the south-we8t<jm comer of K<M«ex. In
1855 the formation of the Victoria Docks to the eastward of the mouth of the Lea
caused a great increase of population, and the Plaistow and Victoria Dock MlBsion
was started, and large sums of money were raised and expended for ' London OTer the
Border.'
Fr()m 1863 to 1870 the JiUltop of London's Fund granted 8,953/., and from 1870
to 1878 the Bi*hojf of Jt^fcJuater's Fund gianted 23,416/. (met by 95,763/. raised
locally) to the Deanery of Barking.
In 1878 the Bishop of St, Albans' Fund finally took up the work, and in eight and
a half years has received and expended about 71,000/., while about 3,000/. more is
promised, chiefly payable by instalments, about half of which is appropriated to
special works.
Present Position. — The population of the Deanery of Barking has grown f«om
73,500 in 1861, to 220,000 in 1881, and, growing at the rate of about 20,000 in each
year, has probably now reached considerably over 300,000, the growth being entirely
of the poor or lower middle class.
To this must now be added the parishes adjoining the new docks at Tilbury, and
the town of Grays, whose joint population is already 20,000, and will soon be much
more.
The claim of these districts is one that appeals to a far wider area than the Dio-
cese of St. Albans, and especially to residents in all parts of London. They are an
important part of Greater London and its Port, containing —
(a) The two greatest docks of London, viz. : the Victoria and Royal Albert, and
the East and West India Docks at Tilbury.
(&) The greatest gasworks, and source of most of the gaslight of London, at
Beckton.
(c) Many of the great works of £ast London— /?.i7. the Great Eastern, and the
London, Tilbury and Southend Railway Works, the Thames Iron Works,
India-rubber Works, &c.
(d) A large proportion of the homes of the workmen of London, and of the clerks
of the business houses and banks of the city.
The Bishop of St. Albans' Fund has formed 23 Mission Districts in these locaUtie8»
of which 6 have already become separate and independent parishes. The Fnnd rap-
ports in all about 60 living agents (Missionary and Parochial Curates, Soriptnie
Readers, Mission and Bible Women) at a total cost of nearly 6,500/. a year.
Seven Churcliei Scheme. — It had become evident that the population bad com-
pletely outgrown the means of grace ,- and so a special effort was made in 1888 to
increase the income of the Fund, so as to enable it to make grants sufficient to enaare
the building of seven churches at once. Of these, three — <Sf. Sarioui'St and All
Saints', Forest Gate, and St. Michael and All Angels', Walthamstaw, have been con-
secrated ; and the foundation-stones of three others were laid in the summer of 1886
— viz. : —
St, Stephen'Sy Upton Park.— To be erected on the site of the old home of
Elizabeth Fry, as a memorial of one who did so much to inaugurate Women*s Work.
The foundation-stone was laid by H.R.H. the Princess Louise ; but at least 2,000/.
more is required to complete it, as is desired, within the Jubilee year of Her Majesty's
^is^o)> of ^ur^am's '^unb. 25

been secared as free gifts. Gome very important mission sites aie now needed, and

The Diocese of St. Albans, being a nen one, and in other parts purely agri-
coHiDal, and laSering, too, from unexampled depression in its coantty districts, is
not able to sustain this harden alone, without the co-operatjon of the wealthier parts
of London, and ot all interested in London.
It alone of the metropolitan dioceses has no help from the funds of the Chnrchea
polled down in the City ; no special help (in respect of property in the district) from
the lodeaiastical Commissionera ; and hitherto, in consequence of the difficulty of
aoceas from the West End, no college or public school baa been attracted htte,
tboogh it is hoped that, before long, some will be drawn by the consideration of the
needs of this desolate region, tuiit itEi isolation iiom richer neigh bouihoods.

At the Diocesan Conference (1883) a proposal was submitted to

B8TWEt:.v the years 1860 and 1SS3, ITO churches were built, re-
built, or restored, including the ruined cathedral, at a coat of
360,000/. ; 16 new eccleaiastical districts were formed and endowe<I.
During the same period the number of the Clergy was increased by
ncarlj 100, and 42 Ijiy Readers were appointed. The Llandaff
Church Extension Society, in addition to large sums granted for
Church boilding, has paid'si.OOOi. towanlg the stipends of culBtes in
the above period. In the triennial period, 1880-83, 7,a68 persons
were confirmed; in that include<l in the .years 1883-gB the
numbers have reached 0,787. In 18HB, 22 persons were ailmitted
to the dinconatc, and 2,5.W were confirmed.

rontaining 1,100 bitting?, and built at an outlay of 3,600'. During the same period
4 churches have been re-opened after complete restoration, at a cost of 5,600/,,
making a total of 12.200/. expended on Church building and restoration in 1S85.
Daring the same year additional ecclesiastical districts have been formed.

Bishop, or received letters dimissory, as against 46 Deacons and 43 Priests in tho
three years ending in 1883, these being again 6 Deacons and 10 Priests more than
were ordained in the same period ending in September 1880. As the numbers have
increased so there is an improvement in tlie educational antecedents of the candidates
for ordination, and in the work done by them at their examinations. In the three
years ending in 1886, of 48 Deacons 18 came from British Universities and 25 from
St. David's College, Lampeter, as against 13 and 21 respectively out of 46 in the
previous three years. The Bishop especially mentions the obvious improvement in
tlie tone, spirit, and apparent earnestness of the candidates. Church Extension. —
15 churches were consecrated during this triennial period. A real beginning has
been made in the most necessary work of church building in Swansea and the ad-
jacent parishes. • Though commercial depression has prevented an appeal for funds
being as largely responded to as might be wished, yet a church for the use of Welsh-
speaking people at Swansea, a thing much needed, has been rebuilt and consecrated,
one new church and one temporary church have been erected, and a new mission
church has been built by the munificence of a private founder in the Swansea valley
among a large working population. In the year 1885, 12 churches were consecrated
or reopened after restoration at a cost of 13,8442. Sums expended on the restora-
tion of the Cathedral and minor matters would bring this up to above 15,000^ Ko
accurate statement of church building in 1886 can be so far obtained, but 16 appli-
cations for help were made in that year to the Diocesan Church Building Branch,
which works in union with the Incorporated C.B.S.
The Diocesan fund for the augmentation of small benefices received in all up to
December 31, 1885, 2,5042., out of which grants were voted amounting to 2,3502.
This fund gives grants to meet private benefactions, and the sum so raised is to be
met by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners or Q.A.B., so that the above sum, if claimed
and met, would represent a capital increase of 9,4002. It may serve to show the need
of such a fund that the average net income of the benefices to which grants were
voted was not quite 1152. per annum.
Quiet days were held at Brecon and Carmarthen during the summer of 1886, and
itinerant missions giving much promise of sticcess were conducted in the districts
adjacent to Narberth, Hay, and Llanbadarn.
SWANSEA AND EAST OOWER CHTTBCH EXTENSION FTTND.
(Report for the year 1886.)
AT the close of its first year of operation the Committee of the Swansea and East
Gower Church Extension Fund desire to lay before their friends and supporters a brief
account of their labours, and they do so with devout thankfulness for the past and
earnest hope for the future.
The great deficiency of church accommodation within the Rural Deanery of East
Oower has long been acknowledged and deplored. There are perhaps but few places
in the kingdom where, owing to the rapid increase of population, the necessity for
providing additional churches and mission rooms is more painfully apparent. Within
the last ten years the number of inhabitants has risen from ninety to neariy one
hundred and twenty thousand, while the efforts to provide for their spiritual wants
have hitherto been but slight and partial. Three years ago the Commission ap-
pointed under the sanction of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese reported that out of
17 parishes within the Rural Deanery there are but 4 adequately supplied with
church accommodation, and that, to satisfy the requirements of the remaining 13
parishes, at least as many churches, together with 8 or 9 mission room?, are
needed.
Funds and Sites. — To meet this, donations and subscriptions to the amount of
6,9312. lis. Id. have been promised and in part paid directly to this fund. In
addition sites for new churches have been kindly given by the Corporation of
Swansea by Mr. T. Penrice and by Mr. R. Beor. A site has also been promised at
Birchgrove, Llansamlet, and a mission room has been opened in which services are
now held.
Swansea. — The first undertaking, to ^^rhich your Committee voted 5002., was the
restoration of the church known as Old St. John's, Swansea. This has been com-
^^VLXc^ Extension— ^xocesc of §t 'pavib's. 29
pleted at a cost of more than 2,500Z. It provides aocommodation for 630 worshippers,
and was reconsecrated, under the designation of St. Matthew's, as a church spedallj
devoted to the Welsh- speaking population, on July 22 last. It is much appreciated,
and has been well attended ever since. The adjoining mission room is now used for
services in English, conducted chiefly by lay helpers, both morning and evening on
Sundays, and is also well attended. The next work was the erection of a permanent
church, St. Thomas's, to supply the place of the temporary iron church which, after
doing g^ood service for many years, has now become dilapidated. The foundation-
stone of this church was laid on June 18 last; its progress since then has been
continuous, and it is expected that it will be completed about Easter next. To this
also your committee voted a sum of 5001. out of an estimated cost of 3,300/. In
addition to this cost, and independently of your committee, nearly 600/. has been
paid for the site. Your committee further awarded a grant of 50/. towards the
temporary iron church of St. Michael's, which cost altogether nearly 400/., and will
before long be replaced by a permanent one on the site given by Mr. B. Beor.
There is accommoidation in this church for 330 i)ersons, and the Mission Curate
haa gathered together a very good congregation.
Mdrriston. — The need of Church Extension is most urgently felt here. An in-
fluential local committee has been formed, and has held several meetings. A new
Mission Curate has been appointed, and he has entered on his duties. Services
are now carried on both in English and Welsh, but as the only place available
for both congregations is St. John's Chapel of Ease, with room for less than 300
persons, a second church is a matter of very pressing necessity. The populous
locality of Landore or Flas-y-mael is also at present without any place of worship in
connection with our Church. Owing to its proximity to the various copper and tin
works the population in this neighbourhood is continually on the increase, and the
demand for church accommodation and for pastoral supervision is most pressing.
Other Plaees. — The church at Penllergan has recently been enlarged and im-
proved by Mr. I. T. D. Lewel3m, whose liberality in behalf of Church Extension has
already been made public. The new church of All Saints, near Pontardawe, built
at the sole expense of Mr. Arthur Gilbcrtson, and costing 2,500/., was opened last
summer, and now forms an important addition to the church accommodation in that
district. Such instances of zeal and liberality will, it is hoped, exercise their due
influence, and stimulate others whom God has blessed with means to * go and do
likewise.'
The benefits conferred by the Church Extension movement ought not to be
estimated merely by the amount of grant voted directly in each case. Unquestionably
it has awakened a new and fresh interest in the cause, and has been the means
indirectly of eliciting liberal donations towards local objects. Thus during the past
year a sum of 4,833/. over and above the grants made by your committee has been
collected towards the cost of additional churches in and near Swansea.
In a time of general depression such sympathy and support afford your com-
mittee much encouragement. They feel that they are as yet only entering on their
important task, and that what remains will need both unremitting care and earnest
co-operation. To carry out the scheme of the Commissioners as originally proposed
mu&t be a work of time, and its accomplishment must depend on the means at their
disposal. The wants of the Rural Deanery are only too apparent. A large and
arrowing population has been drawn together, for whom so far little or no spiritual
provision in connection with the Church has been made.
In the parish of St. Paul's, Llanelly, with a population of 10,651 yearly increasing,
there is very interesting Church work going on. Since 1876 there has been laid out
on the restoration and improvement of the two existing churches a sum of 14,700/., and
on erection of school-rooms in different parts of the parish, which are used for weekly
classes and occasional services, a sum of 1,500/. A new church, to cost 3,000/., will be
soon roofed in, and the foundation-stone of a new mission, to cost 1,000/., has been
already raised.

ing additional 8,368 sittings.
Grants were made by the Society to
the amount of 610/., to assist in the

THE ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.
The thirty-eighth report of the Commissioners famishes the following
carefully prepared statement, exhibiting the extent to which the augmen-
tation and endowment of benefices has been assisted by the Commissioners
in response to the very large amonnt of private benefaction which has
jbeen called lortb.

SUMXABT or WOBK ACCOHPLISHED BT THE COMMISSIONERS IN THE AUGMEN-
TATION AND Endowment of Benefices from 1840 to October 31,
1886.
I. Total number of benefices augmented, npwards of 5,300.
U. Total value of grants made by the Commissioners, 739,000Z. per
annum (perpetual annuity), representing 22,170,000/. in capital
value.
III. Total value of benefactions to meet the Commissioners' grants,
4,630,000?., equivalent to a permanent increase in the endow-
ments of benefices of about 151,000Z. per annum.
IV. 26,000Z. per annum contributed by benefactors to meet Commis-
sioners' grants for Curates in Mining Districts.
V. Total increase in the incomes of benefices from augmentation
and endowment secured through the instrumentality of the
Commissioners, 916,000Z. per annum to October 31, 1885,
representing the income which would bo derived from a
capital sum of about 27,480,000Z.
The work of the Commissioners will be found presented in detail in
tbe statistical section of this book, and those who are interested in tho
growth and stability of the Church will mark with thankfulness the
evident liberality with which Churchmen are still ready to make personal
sacrifices to extend her power and usefulness.
FOBKATION OF NEW DISTBICTS.
The measure of the Church's readiness to respond to the call to open up
new fields of labour may be tested by the number of new districts formed
from time to time ; every such district practically representing a fresh
and ssealous effort to bring the ministry of the Church within reach of the
people making demands upon her services and hitherto but partially pro-
vided for. In the year 1880 Sir John Mowbray asked that a return
should be made to the House of Commons of the number of parishes or
difltriets constituted under the severally recognised Acts of Parliament
since the year 1868 to the present time ; this return has been brought
into a summary corrected to the latest possible date, and is included with
other statistical tables in another section of this book.
CHURCH EXTENSION IN LARGE TOWNS.
It has been thought that it would bo interesting to draw attention to the
great scope which the increase of population (especially in the largo
centres of the manufacturing districts) has presented during the last
quarter of a century or more for the activity of the Church. The facts
which are presented in the following reports give abundant proofs of the
zeal with which both clergy and laity have striven to supply the wants
which the necessities of each case have demanded.
It is intended from year to year to give further illostratioiia ol n^otV
of this character ; for the present they are confined to reports upouCViMTcJa.

Hastings, Wolverhampton, Leicester, Nottingham, and Bolton ; the three
latter appeared last year. In order to give confidence in these state-
ments, it may be well to add that the facte in each case have been col-
lected with considerable labour by those who, from local connections, had
every facility for obtaining the information. In Preston a committee was
formed of clergy and laity specially for this purpose. Taking the towns
that were dealt with last year, and those now referred to, the following
summary will show what the Church has done during the past 25 years in
these places, in so far as the work can bo represented by.figuros : —

Growth of TowxL — The rapid growth of Sheffield in population, wealth, and com-
mercial importance during the last fifty years has been most marked. Notwithstand-
ing that a • Shefeld thwytel ' is mentioned by Chaucer in his * Canterbury Tales,' and
the fact that Sheffield cutlery found its way to Court as early as 1341, the town
had in the year 1615 only 2,207 inhabitants, mostly very poor. In 1736 the popula-
tion had increased to 14,105, and in 1801 to 45,755. At this latter date Sheffield was
under one vicar and possessed three churches and two small chapels of ease. In
1821 the population had risen to 65,276 ; in 1841 to 110,891 ; in 1861 to 185,172 ; and
in 1881 to 284,410. Notwithstanding a long period of severe trade depression, the
population has gone on increasing, and at the beginning of 1886 considerably ex-
ceeded 300,000, giving an increase during the 25 years of fully 115,000. The sub-
joined figures clearly indicate that during this period the National Church has done
much to meet the spiritual and educational requirements of the people.
Present Namber of ChnroheB.— Sheffield had at the close of 1885, 37 parishes,
each with its church, clergy, schools, parochial organisations, and, except in a few
cases, a parsonage. The annexed table shows that of the 34 churches built during
the present century, 16 have been erected during the 25 years 1860-86. Of these
several have been endowed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The Sheffield
Church Burgesses, a corporation in which considerable patronage is vested, have
also granted endowments to several ; whilst three were endowed by the late Mr.
Henry Wilson, a most munificent contributor to Church work in Sheffield. The 37
parishes hereafter indicated are all within the borough of Sheffield. The population
has overflowed the borough boundaries, and 4 churches have been erect^ed just out-
side these boundaries, viz. : Wadsley, Wincobank, Abbeydale, and Norton Lees, the
first three of which were given by private donors, and the last built by public sub-
scription. These 4 churches are iwt included in the present return.
Of the churches built since 1860, 3 are due to the liberality of private donors;
and 11 have been built under the au.spices of the Sheffield Church Extension
Societies. Another district— Ncwhall — making 38, is already marked out for a
church.
In consequence of many deaths and changes, there has been considerable diffi-
culty in obtaining the desired information concerniog some of the parishes. Where,
however, the figures are not absolutely exact, they may be taken as understating the
amount actually contributed. Grants made by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners,
Queen Anne's Bounty, and the Committee of Council on Education, are not taken
into account.
Edneation. — There are now in Sheffield 34 Church elementary day schools, with
acoommodatioa for 16,827 scholars. In addition there are several buildings used for
Sunday school and other parochial purposes.

Summary.— The work of Church and School Extension during the 25 years
1860-85 may be summed up thus : —
Expenditure
16 new churches £131,840
18 churches enlarged and restored 46,007
9 new parochial and mission rooms 23,810
24 parsonage houses 34,665
30 parochial schools built or enlarged .... 52,360

Providing additional accommodation in : —
Churcnes and mission rooms for 14,230 persons.
Day and Sunday schools for 13,826 scholars.
Total Aooommodation in 37 churches and 0 mission rooms, 34,350.
Further Extension. — At Carbrook, tlic church, which is of iron, will, it is ex-
pected, shortly be replaced by one much larger, of stone. For this a site lias been
secured and a considerable sum subscribed. At Brightsidc a large mission hall is
about to be built, towards which upwards of 1,000/. has been subscribed. In Em-
manuel parish 7001. of the amount named under ' Education,' is for proposed new
schools, and in St. Bartholomew's, Ijangsctt lload, llOl. is in hand for a like purpose.
A generous donor has recently given 1,000/. towards the endowment of St. Paul's,
and a large sum has lately been given in augmentation ef the endowment of All
Saints'. The two last-named cascn are not included in the present returns. In the
three parishes of St. Jude Moorfields, St. Michael and All Angels, and St. Simon,
the parsonage houses have not yet been erected, but the amounts subscribed are in-
vested with the Ecclesiastical Ck)mmissioners.
Funds for General Church Work. — It is impossible to give, even approximately,
the vast amount raised in Sheffield during the last 25 years for general Church work,
such as Home and Foreign Missions, Diocesan Societies, Church expenses, benevolent
and charitable objects, &c., &c. Figures, however, are available which show that
the amount given for these general objects during the ten years ending June 1883
was 179,647/. For the year ending Easter, 1885, the contributions were 27,252/., and
for the year ending Easter 1886, 29,141/. The two last amounts are exclusive of the
subscriptions of Sheffield Churchmen to the Diocesan Church Extension Society, the
Sheffield Scripture Readers' Society, the Sheffield Church Conference, the Sheffield
Church of England School Aid Society, &c.

Compiled by Canon Huqhes, Hear of St. £dmu}ul% Xorthamjjton,
The following summary is an attempt to tabulate the financial work of the Churdi
in this Midland town, during the last twenty-five years, from 1860-85. Every effort
has been made to secure accuracy of statement ; but it has been found impossible to
obtain a complete record of all the voluntary funds raised, during so long a period, in
the several parishes, for the maintenance of Clergy, for Home and Foreign Missions,
and for the support of the poor and local charities. The returns, therefore, under these
three divisions are considerably less than the sums actually disbursed. They only
represent the amount of which records have been kept. Deaths, and the removal of
Vicars to other spheres of labour, have rendered it difficult to acquire such accurate
statements of charities raised for local purposes as might be desirable.
The population of the Parliamentary borough amounted in 1861 to 32,803; in
1881 to 64,900. To supply the spiritual necessities of a rapidly increasing population,
the Church, before 1860, had carried on her work, with considerable energy, under the
leadership of Chancellor Wales, then Vicar of All Saints'. Between 1839 and 1852
the three large churches of St. Katharine, St. Andrew, and St. Edmund were erected,
and new parishes formed at a cost of 14,450/. Between 1852 and I860 education
was promoted, by the erection of large and capacious school-rooms, in each of these
new parishes. In 1855, St. Giles's, one of the four remaining of the old town
churches, was restored and enlarged at a cost of 5,183/. lOt, ld» The number of
sittings therein was increased from 420 to 901.

These efforts, carried on during the years immediately preceding 1860, when the
tabulated returns for the last twenty-five years commence, seem to hare exhausted,
for a time, the resonrces of Churchmen in both town and county.
Bishop Ifogee, immediately on bis appointment to the Hee of Peterborough in
1868, directed hiis efforts to Church extension in the two largest towns of the
Diocese, viz. Leicester and Northampton. The former, as the laager of the two,
naturally first claimed his attention.
In 1 871 St. James' Church, Northampton, was consecrated, and a suburban parish
was formed on the west side of the town, the inhabitants of which belong almoit
exclusively to the artisan class. The Education Act of 1870 placed great pressure on
Churchmen in all the large parishes of the town to enlarge and complete th^ school
buildings. As soon as this pressure had passed away, an influential meeting of tte
inhabitants of the town and county was held, under the presidency of the Bishop of
the Diocese, in the Town Hall, on March 25,*1875, to inaugurate a Church Extension
Society for Northampton. The Bishop, with his wonted lucidity of statement, placed
before his audience the spiritual needs of the people, and ventured to ask for a sum
of 33,000^ to supply immediate deficiencies by the erection of four new diurches.
Two of these were to be erected in the parish of St« Edmund, at the east end of
the town; one in the parish of Kingsthorpe, on the north side; and one at Far
Cotton, on the south side. The appeal of the Bishop has been responded to with
considerable enthusiasm, notwithstanding the long depression in the trade of the
county. The subjoined is an abstract of the report presented by the Archdeacon of
NorthEunpton, as permanent chairman of the Building Committee, to a meeting of sub-
scribers held, under the presidency of the Bishop, in the Town Hall, in November
1885:—

St. Crispin's Church, capable of holding 350 worshippers, was erected in 1883-84
at a cost of 3,758/. in the parish of St. Sepulchre. The bulldiug has not been con-
secrated, so that, although tabulated amoug the new churches in the Statistical
Summary, it comes rather under the description of a permanent mission room.
We find, therefore, from the summary, that there has been expended during the
last twenty-five years : —

An active propaganda of both Secularism and Socialism has been carried on for
many years in the town, from London as its head-quarters. The hold, however,
which such theories have attained over the better class of mechanics is very super-
ficial. Indifference to religion, as distinct from, although closely allied to, unbelief,
prevails to a very large extent amidst the great mass of the population. The
churches, old and new, arc well attended by intelligent and earnest congregations.
At one church, situated in the midst of a working-class population, the number of
communicants on last Easter Day amounted to 552. It is a fallacy to believe that
shoemakers have no heart for religion, no belief in our Saviour, and no love for His
Church. To witness crowds of riveters kneeling before the altar and reverently putting
forth their hands to receive the Bread of Life is a sight not easily forgotten. For
some years to come the energies of Churchmen will be strained to the utmost in
Northampton to win back the careless and unbelieving into the fold of the Church ;
but everything in the present bids the workers for Christ to face that future with
firm faith and quiet confidence.

PBMTCT. (Diocese of XanelieBter)
Compiled by the Rev. J. Haheb Rawdon, Vicar of Preston (assisted by a Committee).
The following statement is a record of Chnrch extension, and of the amounts
raised for Church purposes within the municipal borough of Preston for twenty-five
years, between 1860 and 1885.
The information thus tabulated has been kindly supplied by the local Clergy, who
have been at much pains to secure its accuracy. In some few cases the death or
removal of Clergy has made it impossible to g^ve more than approximate results, but
care has been taken in these cases to keep well within the mark.
It will be observed that besides the sums spent on the building, renovation, and
endowment of churches and schools, other voluntary funds, for (1) the maintenance
of Assistant Clergy and Church services, (2) Home and Foreign Missions, (3) the sup-
port of the Poor and local Charities, (4) Charitable endowmen ts, have been included,
aceording to the form supplied by the Editor of the Official Year Book.
It mu8t.be explained that pew-rents paid towards the income of a benefice have
been excluded from Sec. V., Div. I., and are not reckoned in the returns ; also that
where new parishes have been formed all funds raised up to the time of the conse-
cration of the new church have been put to the account of the original parish, out
of which the new one was formed. The case of Ribbleton is an exception, the new
parish having been formed and endowed before a permanent church was built.
Social Changes and Increaic of Population. — The area of the borough has been
enlarged by the incorporation of the outljing district of Ashton^on-Ribble and a
portion of Ribbleton, and the 4own has rapidly expanded in all directions. The popu-
lation in I860 was about 82,000 ; it now approaches 105,000. About 62,600, or one-
half, belong to the Church of England. There are about 35,000 Roman Catholics,
and about 19,500 Nonconformists. The chief industries are cotton-spinning and
manufacturing. There are also some large iron foundries, machine and boiler works,
and Iron shipbuilding yards.
Preston is not a particularly wealthy place, and during the latter half of the
period comprised in the returns it has lost many of its most liberal givers. The sums
raised have thus been largely contributed by the middle classes and the better class
of working-men. These last have shown much zeal and interest in the work of the
Church, and their thrift has enabled thera to be generous. It may be well to state
here that the local savings bank has the largest number of accounts opened and the
largest amount deposited, in proportion to the population of the town, of any similar
institution in the kingdom. The Sunday schools are very large, and contain many
adult classes, and the people are deeply attached to them, the annual procession of
teachers and scholars at Whitsuntide numbering from 12,000 to 14,000.
Increase of Church and School Accommodation.— Five New Churches have been
built, and two rebuilt within the twenty-five years ; also four School-Chapels built,
and five Mission Rooms built or provided. Two new Churches have since been begun
(1886), and a third is contemplated.
The general totals may be thus given : —

WOLTBBHAMPTOy. (Diooeie of Lichfield.)
Compiled by the Rev. J. T. Jeffcock, Rector and Rural Dean of Woherhamjfton.
Wolverhampton is the metropolis of the South Staffordshire iron and coal industry.
Its manufactures are almost entirely of heavy or light iron goods, or articles connected
with the iron trade. The population in 1881 of the municipal borough was 75,685
(estimated now at about 80,600) ; but of the rural deanery (which includes also the
old districts of Bilston, Willenhall, and Wednesfield) it was 127,675. The population
of the parliamentary borough of Wolverhampton is, I suppose, about 165,000.
The adjoined table refers only to the growth of Church work within themunicipal
borough^ and sums voluntarily contributed to such work. I have taken the popula-
tions for the various parishes from the returns in the LichBeld Diocesan Calendars of
1863 and 1886. The rest of the statistical information has been supplied to me, at
no little trouble to them8elve.«», by the various incumbents, with the kind help, in
many cases, of the churchwardens and schoolmasters. In most cases the figures are
the actual sums known from existing accounts to have been spent, and thus repre-
senting at any rate the minimum of money spent on the various items of Church
work. In many of these instances, I have no doubt, more was spent of which no
record remains. The reason for this is obvious : in some parishes there have been
three — ^in one even four — vicars, and in all at least one change of incumbent during
the quarter of a century over which the inquiry extends. Unhappily, much local
knowledge perishes with each change of incumbent. In cases where only ettimates
have been made I have placc<l an ast^jrisk (♦) ; these refer to current expenditure.
The five parishes printed in italics have had parish churches built in them, and been
themselves constituted since 1860, and have been taken from their mother parish
printed immediately above them. In the case of Christ Church, however, a portion
of St. Mary's and of St. Andrew's were amalgamated to form the consolidated
chapelry. Though the capital expended by Church-folk on school buildings is tabu-
lated, I regret the voluntary current expenditure on school work is not fully given ;
in some cases the incumbents have included it in the Home Mission Work column,
but in some cases no account whatever is taken of it, so that our totals are set down
at too little. I am not quite sure also whether in every case in the school building
' coit * column my informants have excluded the Government grant, which up to about
1874 used to meet private benefactions. Later additions to our schools have had no
help from Government at all.
I summarise the tables thus: — During the twenty- five years the population has
increased by above 10,000; and the Church, in addition to 9,777 sittings in existence
at the beginning of the period, has by private munificence provided 4,945 new
sittings, being more than is required for such increase, but not enough as yet to
satisfy this increase and at the same time make up the arrears of deficiency there
were at the commencement of the period. There is ample scope for two new churches,
or four additional good-sized mission rooms. The Church has provided 2,839 addi-
tional school places for day scholars, and has to-day between 8,000 and 9,000 scholars
triuning in her day schools.

HABTCTOB. (Biooete of Chiolieiter.)
Hastings is an ancient borough and the premier Cinque Fort. In 1828-31 the
township of St. Leonard's was formed. The two places are now united officially
into one corporate town. The population in 1801 was 3475. At the census of 1881
it was 47,738 (living in 7,302 houses) ; it has since then considerably increased.
Between April 1, 1881, and the end of 1884, 850 dwelling-houses were erected, and
the work of building has steadily continued since.
Sdueation. — The total number on the books of elementary schools in 1871 was
3,854. It was, at Michaelmas 1886, 6,914. A School Board was formed after the
passing of the Education Act, which has 6 schools with 13 departments. No Church
school has yet been made over to the Board. Hicse Church schools are 13 in number,
with 30 departments. The number of children on the books of the Board schools is
2»252 ; on the books of the Church schools 4,662. The number of school places
added in the Church schools during the period comprised in the returns is proximately
2,690, and the cost of providing them 21,772/. There is an active Church Sunday
School Association in the borough in connection with the Sunday School Institutes,
and many of the local teachers hold certificates obtained in the examinations arranged
by that body.
Chnroh Aoeommodation. — There are sixteen churches in the borough, fourteen of
them having a parochial status. The increased accommodation has been 7,560 sittings,
and the expense of building nine new churches 107,500/.; 1,440 sittings have been
provided in mission rooms, and their cost, together with the cost of restorations in
old churches, has been 18,295/. Only a small sum of 3,000/. appears to have been
expended on the important item of Parsonages during the period ; but one house
presented as a parsonage should be added.
Chnroh Work. — In the sustentation of the Church Services and in the internal im-
provement of the Churches about 108,000/. appear to have been expended during the
period embraced in the return; about 32,000/. in Home Missions, and about 43,000/. in
local charities. To this, however, has to be added the large sum expended on religious
education in the voluntary schools. Nearly half the churches having been built
within the limit fixed for the returns, a considerable allowance should be made for
their shorter period of work. Taking into account the above circumstance, and also
that the first returns are generally under-statements, and that some churches have
not made them fully or at all, it would probably be within the truth to say that
300,000/. would represent the sum which would be expended in twenty-five years by
means of the present machinery, in carrying on the works of benevolence and religion
by the Church in the borough of Hastings.

LBICE8TEB. (Diocese of Peterborough.)
"^"*^~^" Compil(Kl by Canon Willes.
The table on the opposite page indicates the work of Church Extension in this town
during the last twenty-five years (186(X-86). It will be ob8crve<i that the population
has increased from 67,656 in 1860 to 125,513 in 1885. The demands which this great
and rapid increase have made upon the service of the Church have been generously and
actively met. The new churches built within this period are noted in the table in italics.
The endowments specified have been entirely raised by voluntary offerings of a private
character, quite independently of any grants from the funds administered by the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Mission rooms, only temporarily so used, and school
buildings use<l for Divine Service on Sundays, are not included in this return. (See
table on opposite page.)
HOTTIHGHAM. (Diooeie of SonthweU.)
Compiled by Canon Tebbutt.
It is sought in the following statement to present a record of Clmroh work in the
borough of Nottingham for the term of years included between 1860-85.
1 hrough the kindness of the local clergy much valuable information has been ob-
tained ; but, owing to the absence of memoranda in some few instances, and to the
rcmovsJ of Clergy by death, it lias not been possible to give absolutely exact state-
ments in every instance. At the same time great care has been taken in such cases
to understate, rather than to exaggerate, the probable amounts raised.
Soeial Changei in Population. — The borough of Nottingham has been much en-
larged by the incorporation of outlying townships within the last twenty-five years.
The returns are taken therefore for the enlarged area. In addition to this circum-
stance the growth of the town has been promoted by large quantities of building land
being brought into the market ; the result of which has been a remarkably rapid de-
velopment in every direction. In 1860 the population of Nottingham, with the town-
ships now incorporated, was 98,252 according to the < Clergj' List.' Tlie most recent
return furnished by the Church Extension Society gives the population as 211,925.
The number of Clergy ministerinj? within the borouj^h has risen from 35 to 65 ; the
total Church accommodation has increased from 14,040 to 24,757 sittings.
As regards the social condition of the people an advance has taken place in every
way. With a varying industry like the lace trade there are occasional depressions;
but the trade of the town on the whole has enormously increased, and the position of
the working: classes has proportionately improved. Further, a local impetus has
been given by the opening up of considerable mining operations, the whole of which
are of recent growth. This has created an influx of the rural iKDpulation into the
town, and has thus subjected the zeal of the Clergy and Churchmen to a severe strain,
in order to keep up with the extraordinary development of the borough.
Increase of Church and School Accommodation.— The table subjoine<l shows that
honest, self-sacrificing effort has been made to provide for the increasing needs of
the Church. Much indeed has yet to be accomplished. The Nuttin<rham Spiritual
Aid and Church Extension Society, founded by the late Bishop of r^incoln, is engaged
in the scheme for the creation of no less than thirteen districts, and is responsible'for
upwards of 1,000/. per annum forsti|x;nd:^ of mission curates.
Dy reference to the accompjinying table it will be seen that the total provision,
together with amounts raise<l, is as follows, including cost of sitt s :

BOLTOH. (DioMM of XanolieBter.)
Compiled by the Kev. Canon Powell.
Population. — Bolton is a large and prosperous manufacturing town, cotton being
its staple industry, but its engineering and machine-making establishments and its
bleachirorks are also extensive. It has also an abundance of coal. The limits of the
town have gpradually increased ; the population, which twenty-five years ago was under
70,000, now reaches 108,000.
Chareh Aeoommodation. — During the last twenty-five years Church interests have
made steady and encouraging progress. In 1860 there was Church accommodation
for only 7,638 ; there i^ now accommodation for about 20,000. This has arisen from
the enlargement of some Churches, the erection of others, and the provision in the
most populous parishes of mission-rooms.
Fimds spent upon Choroh Bnilding, fto.— During the last twenty-five years a
very generous spirit has been manifested. Not less than 145,000/. has been expended
upon the erection, enlargement, or improvement of Churches, and the whole amount
contributed by the people themselves. Of this sum 45,000/. was expended on the
rebuilding of the Parish Church, and was the sole and munificent gift of a single
parishioner ; and two of the new Churches, which, with vicarages and schools attac&d
to them, have cost some 30,000/. apiece, were also the gifts of two parishioners —
brothers. A further sum of at least 21,000/. has been spent upon the ^mishing and
adornment of Churches— such as organs, stained-glass windows, &c., kc, — and still
further sums of 20,000/. for endowments, and 16,000/. for vicarage houses, all con-
tributed from private sources, and independently of Grants made by the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners from their General Fund, and from the Bolton Bectory Estate. Had
these Grants, which are considerable, been added, a much larger amount would have
appeared, since the Endowment of every Church has been recently made up to 300/.
per annum, and in each parish a vicarage house has been provided, or a Grant of
money given to provide the same.
Sdneation. — A great advance has been made in educational work also. In 1860
but few schools existed, and these were small ; but pow every Church has its own
school, with ample accommodation for both day and Sunday scholars. During the
twenty-five years increased accommodation has been made for upwards of 10,000
scholsirs, at a cost of not less than 56,000/. Two very handsome schools included in
this amount were provided at the sole cost of the two brothers mentioned above, and
estimated at 15,000/. It is also satisfactory" to know that all our Church schools are
kept up in thorough condition and efficiency by the liberality of the respective con-
gregations, and that not one school has been transferred to the School Board. The
annual collections made in the Churches for school purposes during the last twenty-
five years amount to upwards of 32,000/.
OwLeral Sesult. — If we bring the several amounts together, we have the gratifying
result that during the last twenty-five years the sum of not less than 290,000/. has
been contributed for Church and Church-educational purposes.
It may be noted, also, that these figures apply strictly to the Town or Borough of
Bolton, and not to the whole of the ancient parish, nor to the Rural Deanery. Both
of these are of larger extent, and had the enquiry included them the result would
have been even more satisfactory than it is.

PAROCHIAL WORK.
Thb short records which follow have been introdaoed into this book with
a view of showing the peculiar importance and influence of the parochial
system, and its power of adapting itself to the particular wants of Tarious
classes of society. The illustrations which are given have therefore been
chosen with reference to varying circumstances of population and social
characteristics, so that this chapter, as a whole, may fairly represent the
working of the parochial system, where it is faithfully carried out.
In each case the report has been drawn up by the incumbent, at the
request of the Year-book Committee.

SECTION IT.— HOME MISSION WORK,
CLERICAL AND LAY AGENCIES.
Thgbb are many aspects of social and political life in the present day
which, though not without hope for the future welfare of the nation, still
suggest grave causes for anxiety, and must naturally arouse the con-
aciflnoe 01 the Church to an increased sense of responsibility, quickening
both a desire and zeal to make the influence of Christianity permeate
through every class of the community.
The social relationship between the rich and poor, the commercial ties
between capital and labour, the extravagances of wealth, the prevalence
of suffering, ignorance, and vice among the masses, the deadening infla-
enoes of unbelief in its several phases — all these things call loudly upon
the Church of this age to carry the healing and life-giving influence of
the Gospel of Christ to every heart and home.
It will be seen from the records which follow in this Section that Home
Miiision work is really occupying a very prominent place in the minds of
sealous Churchmen, who are in many ways assisting it, either by gifts of
money or personal service.
The existence and extension of the Universities and Public Schools
Clerical anb <^afi Jlgenctes.
Missions is a very remarkable and interesting witness to a spirit of
Christian zeal and enterprise animating the yonth of our English schools
and nniyersities, and cannot fail to exert a most wholesome influence
npon the future life of those who, being called to places of responsibility,
will be so often brought into immediate contact with the poor.

OXFOBD HOWE UT BETHJAL GBBEK.
I. Objoeti. — ^The primary object of the promoters of Oxford House (instituted in
the year 1884) was to form a permanent connection with some Parish or Mission
District in one of the poorer parts of London, in which they would be able to found
a HoQse as a centre of religions and social work among the labouring and artisan
classes of the district.
The House is intended to be (a) the residence of University Graduates and other
laymen willing to live tliereand to give cither their whole time or such portion of it
as they can spare from their professional and business engagements, to work of this
kind ; (b) a meeting-place for those who can come down and give assistance on one
or more evenings in the week ; and (c) for Undcrgpraduates able to devote some portion
of the vacation to seeing and helping the work.
II. Scope of the Work. — The following is a list of ways in which the objects of
Oxford House can be promoted by those wishing to help : —
(1) By taking lodgings in the House in Bethnal Green.
(2) By superintending or assisting in the working of Men's and Boys* Clubs.
(3) By District Visiting and Sunday School work.
(4) By organising or assisting at Concerts and Entertainments.
(5) By giving Lectures or Addresses, or conducting Classes on religious or secular
subjects.
(6) By assisting in Mission Services.
(7) By serving on Local Committees of School Management, Sanitary Aid,
Charity Organisation, &c.
(8) By conducting parties of working men over Museums, Picture Galleries, &c.
(9) By contributions in money or clothing.
III. The Tear 1885. — The Committee report considerable progress during the
year 1885.
(1) I'/te Oxford IltfVHt' Club celebrated its first anniversary in November 1885.
There are 220 names on the books. The Club premises consist of two rooms on the
ground floor of the Oxford House. Recreation, education, and mutual improvement
are the objects of the Club. To attain these objects every kind of amusement is
provided, lectures take place every Saturday night, and classes on one or more
evenings of the week. In connection with the Club there are Debating Societies, a
Musical Society, a Dramatic Society, Cricket and Football Clubs, Coal Club, and Boot
and Shoe Club. There is a Quarterly Club Service and Sermon in St. Andrew's
Church, and a Quarterly Evening Party for lady friends of members.
(2) Univertity Club. — This Club is in a very poor district of St. Andrew's Parish,
and the members are labourers as distinct from the artisans of whom the Oxford
House Club is mainly composed. There are 70 names on the books.
(3) Evelyn's Bnyti' Club. — This Club is supported by contributions from Mr.
Worsley's school, Evelyns, Hillingdon. The members of the Oxford Hou.se take part
in the working of it.
(4) Miuhn Work. — Hon. and Rev. 11. Adderley (now in charge of the Christ Church
Mission at Poplar) was largely instrumental in startin^f a successful Mission at St.
Andrew's Hall, Cambridge Road, and with the assistance of other Oxford Hoose men
has conducted services in the open air and in the Hall, and otherwise established a
useful centre of Mission work in a x>oor part of St. Andrew's Parish.
(5) District Visiting.— Tha members of Oxford House visit principally in St.
Andrew's Parish under the supervision of the Curate-in-cliarge, formerly Dr. Knight-
Bruce, Bishop of Bloemfontein, now Hon. and Rev. Algernon Lawley.
(6) Sunday School Work. — The members of Oxford House give much assistance
in this way in the parish of St. Andrew.
(7) Maintenance of Curate.~The stipend of one Curate for St. Andrew's Parish is
paid by the Oxford House.
(8) Non^parochial Work, — The Oxford House is gradually extending its work to
other parts of East London. One member of the House serves on the Bethnal Green
Charity Organisation Committee, another is the secretary of the local Branch of the
Mansion House Committee on the Dwellings of the Poor, another of the Local Com-
mittee of the Recreative Evening Classes Association, another serves on the local
Committee of the Children's Oountry Holiday Fund.
'^nvo€tsiiie6 anb 'public g^ci^ools fissions. 77
R^^olar oiganiaed lectures are given by members of the Oxford House in Tarions
working men's clubs throughout London.
Courses of Sunday afternoon lectures have been and are being given on religious
subjects with full opportunities of discussion.
A series of papers on religions subjects written for working men is being issued
by the Committee of the Oxford House, published by Messrs. Rivington. They have
been the subject of much opposition in the leading secularist journals and lecture
halls.
Various other works are in course of organisation by the Oxford House, such as an
Industrial Exhibition of the Trades of East London, and a Co-operative Association.
To quote the words of the Report for 1885, * it is needless to say that the amount
of good to be done in these ways is only limited by the number of workers, not by
the opportunities of usefulness.*
The Oxford House is situated in St. Andrew's Street, Bethnal Green.
BRADFISLD.
Supports three boys in the Bishop of Bedford's Home for Waifs and Strays, Church
of England Central Society, at 13/. per annum ; the 39/. comes from the Sunday
evening offertories exclusively.
ALDEHHAX.
A collection is annually made in this School for' the A.C.S., to be devoted to
Mission Work in the south-eastern portion of the Diocese of St. Albans. Ten pounds
was collected in 1885, and the same amount in 1883 and 1884.
BABLST.
A playground and club-room in the parish of St. Peter, London Docks, is sup-
ported by this School. The cost is about 30/. a year, and in addition to this a certain
amount is laid by annually to meet any exceptional expenditure. A further sum of
25/. per annum is given to the Diocese of Maritzburj^. Another sum has now been
guaranteed by the School, viz. 15/. a year, to support a child from St. Peter's, London
Docks, in the Church Society for Relief of Waifs and Strays. The alms and offerings,
which amount to about 100/. a year after deducting the above amounts, are devotecl
to the S.P.G., Hospitals, Home Missions, and Orphanages.
CHSLTSHHAM.
This College supports an Induslrial School in the town, where homeless and
friendless boys are taught some simple work, and a few are boarded. Collections are

EAILETBUBT.
Haileybury was early among the public schools in resolving to have a special
mission supported by members and friends of the School. India was naturally
selected as the field, from the long and honourable connection between the East India
College and that country. In 1873 a fund was started, and a * Haileybury Lecturer '
has eve'- since been working at St. John's College, Agra. The lecturer receives 120/.
each year, and lectures to the upper classes in the school, besides giving occasional
more public addresses. The bsdance of the 150/. annually contributed has been
devoted to the library and towards the formation of a reserve fund. There are
difficulties in the way of sustaining interest by sufficient details of work so distant,
and this has prompted some to ask for some home mission to be associated with the
name of Haileybury. But at present it is felt that the School is not rich enough to
provide for more than one fund, and India has but two schools working for her, while
England has many. If Old Haileyburians want work in London under the name of
their old school, the Rev. E. Hoskyns, of Stepney, and others are ready and anxious
for personal help.
CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.
Object. — Home Mission work. The more thorough evangelisation of the masses
through the agency of the Church of England.
Plan. — To work, not independently, but by reinforcement of the existing
machinery of the Church of England. By means of the Society the staff of the
Church has been strengthened by the employment of hundreds of clergy who could
not otherwise have found means of support, in those needy and populous parishes
where their services are most urgently required. Suitably qualified lay agents are
also supported by the Society. These are under the entire control of the Incumbents
of the parishes wherein they labour.
Funds. — The Beoeipts of the Society for the year ending March 31, 1886, were
54,226/. Though slightly less than in 1885, this sum exceeds the average income of
the past five years by 500/. These receipts do not, of course, include amounts raised
and paid locally to supplement the Society's grants.
The Expenditure for the same period was 53,246/. Being now relieved from costs
connected with renewal of lease, the Committee were enabled to expend 1,800/. more
in actual Home Mission work than in 1885, and 2,877/. more than in 1884.
Their existing liabilities, if all grants were in operation, are 59,000/. : a figure
which prudence forbids them to exceed without a corresponding growth of income.
Operations. — The Sooiety's grants are thus apportioned : —
Additional Curates 606
Chaplain for Mariners 1
Grants towards the incomes of Incumbents . 11
Lay Agents 164
Total 772
Clergymen, 618 ; Lay Agents, 154 : Total 772.
The number of parishes benefited ia 640, and the population reached is about
5,000,000. The aim of the Society is not so much to multiply small grants as to give
substantial aid.
It will thus be seen that the operations of the Society have continued their
progressive increase during the past year.
But the applications for its help grow more frequent and more urgent. There are
no means of making more new grants, although there are a hundred approved and
pressing cases waiting for aid.

Parochial MImIohi. — Throagh its Missions Department the Society is now pre-
pared to procure the services of suitable mission preachers. Many missions have been
so arranged during the past year.
Curates* Begistry. — This forms a subsidiary but useful part of the work of the office.
Commanications should bo addressed to the Rev. James I. Cohen,
M.A., or to Major-General E. Davidson^ at the Society's Offices, Temple
Chambers, Falcon Court, Fleet Street, E.C.
THE SOCIETY FOR THE EMPLOYMENT OF ;
ADDITIONAL CURATES.
The general aim of this Society's work has been very fully described in previous
publications of this book. Its one comprehensive endeavour is to give the Church
un increased power of making? the Gospel of Jesus Christ known in the large centres
of population in England. The claim which these great masses have upon the love
and care of the Church must be apparent to all, and for many years past this
Society has successfully laboured in the fulfilment of this great responsibility.
Present Work. — The amount voted in grants for 1886-87 was 49,8452. to meet
45,729/. raised locally, giving a total of 95,574/. to support 755 additional Clergy.
The population thus benefited is nearly six millions.
Principles of Working.— The grants are made with strict regard to the actual
necessities oC each parish, population and income being carefully taken into account.
The Curate, to whom a grant is made, is in every instance appointed by the Incombent
and licensed by the Bishop. The grants arc made upon the distinct condition that
additional services, sermons, and housc-to-houso visitations shall be undertaken.
Income, 1885.— The Qeneral Fund Income of the Society last year amounted to a
larger sum than in any former year, and this notwithstanding the continued depression
in all branches of industry. The following comparative statement of receipts for
three years shows the sources and progress of the Society*s income :

Ladiei' Home Xission Atiooiation. — This is a comparatively new but most im-
portant development of the Society's work. Last year the general income was
aujfmented by a sum of 6,766/. 9«. 9^., contributed through the branches of the
Ladies' Association throughout the country.
Diocesan Committees. — With a view to bring individual dioceses into practical
co-operation with the Central Executive, Diocesan Committees have been formed,
and assist locally in the general administration of the Society. The following
dioceses have constituted Committees for this purpose, i.e, Durham, Chester, Lichfield,
Llandaff , Rochester, St. Albans, Ripon, Salisbury, Truro, Sodor and Man.
Local Committees for Oreat Towni.— Such Committees have already been formed
in Brighton, Leeds, Manchester, Portsmouth, Oldham, Nottingham, and the Potteries.
The results of this movement are such as to encourage the hope that a still lai^r
measure of good will follow, and that the laity will become more personally
acquainted with the spiritual destitution existing in large towns.
The table on a previous page shows the extent of the Society's work and the
distribution of its grants.
THE LONDON DIOCESAN HOME MISSION.
Founded by the late Archbishop Tait in 1857, with the object of sending the Gospel
to the multitudes of London whom the existing parochial machinery could not reach.
It was the first of the agencies established by him to supply the great spiritual desti-
tution prevailing in the metropolis.
The Diocese of London, after successive reductions in area, is now contermlnons
with the county of Middlesex, and contains upwards of 3,000,000 people. The popn-
lation is increasing at the annual rate of 38,000, this increase taking place almost
entirely in the suburban parishes. The Home Mission maintains that spiritual pro-
vision should, if possible, keep abreast of this advancing tide of population, in order
that thousands may not lapse into indifference as to religion, or become alienated
from the Church of England.
The Society's work is carried on in those parishes in which $uhdiinswn is desirable,
not in those in which the additional population is dealt with by an increased staff of
Assistant Curates working under the Incumbent's direction. The method of procedure
adopted by the Diocesan Home Mission is to take the entire charge of new Districts,
to initiate and develop work in them by the agency of carefully selected clergymen ap-
pointed by the Bishop, and to continue such work until the districts get their permanent
churches and become fully organised parishes. The missionary clei^ officiate in
temporary buildings of all kinds, or in dwelling-houses, or are ready to preach, if need
be, in the open air, thus meeting the spiritual destitution at once, without waiting for
the erection of a permanent church.
Basalt of Patt Work.— The total number of consecrated churches whose erection
has been promoted by the work of the Home Mission is now 47. Tlie present aggre-

EXETER DIOCESAN ADDITIONAL CURATES' SOCIETY.
This Society was formed many years ago to assist incmnbents of overgrown or
scattered parishes in providing Curates.
Its grants are confined to the Diocese of Exeter ; some preferring to give aid for
their own Diocese specially.
The sum voted in grants last year was 6252. for twenty-two parishes, containing
an average population of 4,000.
The general principles and working of the Society are explained by reference to the
following extract from its Rules : ' That the committee make annual grants of money
towards the maintenance of additional clergymen in those parishes and districts which
are most in want of assistance, strict regard being had in all cases to the right of the
incumbent, the authority of the Bishop, the spiritual wants of the parish or district,
the amount of contribution paid to the treasurer in aid of the funds of the Asso-
ciation from such parish or district, and to the sums raised therein for such addi-
tional clergymen.'
Commnnicatioiis should be made to the Rev. J. M. Hawker, The Bee*
tory, Beirynarbor, Ilfracombe.
OXFORD DIOCESAN SPIRITUAL HELP SOCIETY.
This Society was established in 1857, in the Episcopate of Bishop Wilberfoice.
Its object is to afford to the most necessitous parishes of the Diocese permanent
or temporary pecuniary aid in the maintenance of a curate. All applications for
assistance are considered by a sub-committee early in October each year. Its income
is derived from subscriptions and donations, parochial collections, and dividends on
funded capital. In the year 1885, additional clergy were provided in thirty-eight
parishes by the help of grants from the Society amounting to 1,0102. 18«. 6d.

DIOCESE OF LICHFIELD.-THE ADDITIONAL CLERGY
AND LAY HELPERS' FUND FOR THE ARCHDEACONRY
OF STOKE-UPON-TRENT.
This Fund was established in the year 1873 under the guidance of Bishop Selwyn,
and the movement arose out of certain inquiries instituted in the year 1870 into the
spiritual condition of the pottery and mining districts of North Staffordshire. The
distinct object of the Fund is to assist by annual grants the employment of curates
and lay helpers in the parishes of the archdeaconry.
During the year 1885 grants were made in aid of the stipends of 20 assistant
curates.
The income for 1885 was, from subscriptions and donations, 2681, 16s, ; from
church offertories, 220/. 2s. dd.

THE LONDON CITY MISSION.
This Society was founded May 16, 1835. Its simple object is to carry
the message of the Gospel from house to house in the densely populated
districts of the great metropolis. Though this Society is not confined in

its operations to the Church of England, it yet renders most efficient
service in the assistance it gives to the parochial clergy.
The number of missionaries is now 465. In ordinary districts they visit once a
month about 650 families, or 2,900 persons.
Of the members of committee fifteen are laymen of the Church of England, and
amongst the examiners of candidates twelve are clergy of the Established Church.
Since the mission was formed, 83,036,491 visits and calls have been paid to the
poor, of which 8,980,054 have been to the sick and dying. 5,757,510 meetings have
been held for prayer and expounding the Scriptrtres, 104,810,657 tracts have been
given away, and 452,441 Testaments and portions distributed. Special missionaries

CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCRIPTURE READERS'
ASSOCIATION.
The following abstract from the 42nd Annual Report of the Association shows the
object for which it was established, the means used, and the special circumstances of
the period covered by the Report : —
Instituted in 1844, its object was to assist the parochial system in the suburban
dioceses of London, Rochester, St Albans, Canterbury, and Winchester.
The objects of the Society are carried out by the employment of Scripture Readers
approved by the Clergy under whom they work, but appointed by the Committee
after most careful examination and inquiry, and they labour under the written sanc-
tion of the Bishop of the Diocese, in the various parishes to which a grant is made
by the Association.
The special circumstances referred to in the Report are (1) the holding of a mis-
s-ion in the metropolitan parishes of the Diocese of Rochester, first in the Bermondsey
District, and subsequently in South London generally. In these special efforts, the
services of the Readers were found as useful as were those of their brethren in the
London Diocese during the previous East and West London Missions. (2) The proof
of the value of the Readers from a social point of view, as shown by the help which
they rendered in connection with the Mansion House Fund for the Relief of the
Unemployed, and which is thus referred to in the Report: —
Although the Readers are appointed for purely spiritual work, it must be evident
that, incidentally, their labours have also a considerable social value. Especially has
this been the case during the past winter (1885-6), when t^eir local knowledge has been
found of great service in connection with the Mansion House Fund for the Relief of
the Unemployed, and has been the means of preventing im]x>sition on the one hand,
§cxipiuve '^eaters' Jlssociafton.

and of securing relief to many deserving families on the other ; whilst their visits of
enquiry have given them increased opportunities of speaking a word in season.
Hie number of grants existing on 31st March, 1886, was as follows : — In the
Archdiocese of Canterbury, 3 ; Diocese of London, 73 ; Diocese of Rochester, 48 ;
Diocese of St. Albans, 6 ; total, 130.
The total income for the year from all sources was 10,063^., being less by a con-
siderable amount than the two previous years.

NAVVY MISSION.
This Church Ifissionhaa assisted 98 Clergymen in parishes where navvies have been
employed, by supplying missionaries, who have held Sunday and week-day services,
Bible elates, Temperance meetings, and Sunday and night schools. During the past
jesa about 100 men and women have been confirmed, and 1,000 attendances made at
the Holy Communion. The Society gathers and publishes information as to the
condition and needs of the navvies, and furnishes a channel through which money
l^riven for promoting their welfare may be promptly and efficiently administered.
Thirty missionaries are employed by this society.
The following statements will give some idea of the work in which the Society is
engaged at the present time in the various Dioceses : —
Cantsrburj (Elham Valley Railway). — The services at the mission-room erected
by the contractor are well attended. A special feature in the work here is the visit-
ing of the night gangs and giving them addresses on the works late at night.
The contractor (Mr. Walker) sets a noble example to the other contractors by pay-
ing all the missionary's salary.
Chester (Birkenhead). — In connection with the Mersey Tunnel Extension and
the Wirral Railway, a mission is being conducted. There are two mission-rooms.
A good Temperance work is being, done here. A special mission was held here by
the Secretary of the Parent Society (Rev. C. Ockford) and others in September.
Carlisle (Thirlmere Water Scheme). — The clergy here take great interest in the
navvies, and the services in the mission-rooms are conducted interchangeably by the
cleigy and the navvy missionary.
Oloueester and Bristol (Bristol Waterworks). — Tliese works are situated in three
parishes — Dundry, Barrow Gumey, and Long Ashton. A mission-room has been
erected by the contractor, and there is every prospect of a successful work being done.
The missionary here is assisted by a lady, who kindly devotes her whole time to
navvy mission work.
Liverpool (Southport Railway). — A mis.sion is being carried on in connection
with this railway, and services are held in a parochial school-room, lent for the pur-
pose. The men seem to appreciate the services, &c., held for their benefit by the
missionary.
Ifanehester (Todmorden Waterworks). — These works are regularly visited by our
missionary, and two of our people have been confirmed.
Xanehester (Heywood Waterworks). — An old disused mill serves the purpose of
a mission-room here. As the navvies are scattered over a considerable area, cottage
lectures are held at different centres.
Burnley Waterworks. — At Worsthome a mission-room has been erected, and a
missioiiary placed in charge. A second mission-room has been erected close to the
88 ^at)t)|f fission.
huts. The mlssionaiy is doing a good work here. Twelve people have been con-
firmed.
Padiham Reservoir. — ^These works at Salden are visited by the missionary, and the
moral and spiritoal well-being of the navvies is cared for.
Pendleton and Hindley Line. — Two missionaries are employed here, and services,
Bible classes, ^c, are held in the various parochial schoolrooms along the rente of the
new line. The Vicars of the various parishes help in every possible way.
Korwieh (Holt and Cromer Railway). — A mission is being carried on here, and
services are held at Holt, Weyboume, Sherringham, &c. Special services, which were
well attended, were conducted in July last.
Peterborough (Weedon and Daventry Railway). — A mission has been commenced
in Weedon and Daventry for the benefit of the navvies, and an ex-nawy is the
missionary. Navvies are often attracted by men of their own class when more
highly educated men fail to draw them into a mission* room.
Eipon (Ilkley and Skipton Railway).— At Ilkley, R. Cope, Esq., is kindly acting as
honorary lay reader. Eight of our people have been confirmed.
At Addingham there is a second mission-room and missionary, with the ordinary
list of services. Seven candidates were confirmed at this station.
Skipton. — At this end of the line a room has also been opened for entertain-
ments, services, &c., and a missionary is working under the direction of the local
secretsiry.
Hury Reservoir, for Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesborough. — The contractors have
erected a mission-room, in which, in addition to the services, night schools, and Bible
classes held by the missionary, is a day school for the navvy children.
At Bingley a mission-room has been erected, where the Clergy conduct services.
Winteibume.- -The contractor has erected a mission-room here, which also serres
the purpose of a reading-room, where the labourers pass away spare moments on wet
days. There are more Irish than English navvies employed.
Dewsbury Waterworks. — These works are at Dunford Bridge, near Penistone.
The Dewsbury people take great interest in their workmen, and last winter, during
the severe weather, they sent quantities of food, &c., to the starving navvies. The
mission-room is well used.
Boehester (Oxted and Groombridge Railway). — Two missionaries are employed
in connection with this line, and three mission-rooms have been erected for services.
The attendance at the meetings is good.
St. Albans (Brentwood and Wickford Railway). — Our mission-room, which for-
mally stood at Grays, where such good work was done among the Tilbury navvies, is
now erected at Billericay, and is made good use of by the men.
Maldon. — Forty miles of new railway having been commenced in Essex — from
Wickford to Southend and Maldon — the clergy have decided to employ two or three
of our missionaries, one of whom will be stationed at or near Maldon, and work
under the direction of the Rural Dean and Vicar of Maldon, and a second will pro-
bably be located at Hockley.
Rickmansworth.-'-Here also a mission-room has been opened, and a missionary
is about to be employed.
St. Asaph (Oswestry). — The Vicar of Oswestry takes great interest in the navvies
employed in constructing the waterworks at Oswestry, and has commenced services
for them in his mission-room. Our itinerating missionary is now at work there.
These waterworks are for the Liverpool Corporation, and a grant is expects from
them towards the expenses of the mission.
St. David*B (Cardiff Waterworks at Cwmtaf).— These works are situated in the
liilly parish of Cantreff. A mission-room has been erected by the contractor, and, as
there are many Irishmen employed, the same room is used for Roman Catholic and
Church of England services. The reading-room is well attended.
Milford Haven. — A mission room has been placed at our disposal by the contractor
here, and he also pays the greater part of the missionary's salary. The mission is
too young to prophesy results yet.
Winchester (Christchurch). — The services, &c„ are fceld, by Wnd pennisiioD

of the C.E.W.M. Society, in their room, and are very snocessfol, the congrega-
tions being very large. A sick clab has been carried on here for the benefit of the
navvies, and over 300Z. has been paid into it by them daring six months. On Easter
Sunday a special celebration of the Holy Commnnion took place in the Minster,
when about a dozen navvies and their wives coromunicated.
Sway. — At this place, which is the other end of the Bournemouth Direct Railway,
the mission-room, on account of the enormous congregations, has had to be consider-
ably enlarged. The mission here is most successful. A three-days' mission was held
in January, and was attended with good results.
Southampton. — A new dock is being made here, and a missionary is at work
among the navvies in the parish of St. James.
Netley and Fareham Railway.— The navvies are scattered over a considerable
area, but the missionary does his best to reach them all, not only holding services in
the mission -room, but addressing them at different centres along the line in the meal
times.
Weybridge, Walton, and Esher. — The L. and S.W. Railway is being widened
between these places, and, as a considerable number of navvies have been employed,
the clergy decided to have a missionary among them. Services have been conducted
and Temperance meetings held in the Nationsd School and Village Hall.

LICHFIELD DIOCESAN BARGE MISSION.
This 8o<uety was established about eight years ago, with the intention of bringing
the ministrations of the Church to a very large number of persons employed in
canal and river traffic, whose spiritual interests have hitherto been little cared for.
The work is chiefly evangelistic, and is carried on at different mission stations, placed
at different points on the important canals which traverse the Diocese. Three Lay
Missioticrs have during the last year been actively working at Wolverhampton, Stoke,
and Tipton. The work of the Society has led to the erection of several permanent
Mission-rooms, which have become the centres of systematic services. The work at
Wolverhampton has been full of encouragement, and much good has also been done
in Stoke and iMpton. The larger part of the Missioners' time is occupied in visiting
from boat to boat, so that the Gospel is literally carried to the people. The result
o^his Mission work has been a large accession to the Church of persons coming
forward for Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion. Considerable ,help has
also been given by the encouragement of wholesome recreation.
All commanications sbonld be addressed to the Hon. Secretary, Rev.
H. P. Stokes, St. Jameses Vicarage, Wolverhampton.
MISSION TO HOP-PICKERS AND FRUIT-PICKERS.
This Society was founded in Maidstone in 1877, for the purpose of providing
spiritual ministrations for immigrant liop-pickers. The Report of last year indicates
that much useful work has been accomplished. Thirty missionaries have been
employed, by whom spiritual help was given to .34,107 immigrants, of whom G7
were baptized. The services are generally held on Sunday morning, afternoon,
atid evening ; and in the week, as opportunities occur, tents are occasionally
used for this purpose ; the attendance on Sunday varies from 20 to 200, and there
are good congregations in the week ; the Society has further endeavoured to extend
its work by appointing missionaries to labour among vegetable and fruit pickers.
Commnnications sbonld be made to Bev. J. Y. Stratton, Ditton Place,

MISSION WORK AMONG THE DEAF AND DUMB.
DIOCESE OF WDICHSSTES.
Thb object of this Mission is: — To provide religions instruction for the deaf
and dumb, both those who have bad no previous education, and those who, having
left the various Institutions, remain without any spiritual ministrations. To visit
them at their homes for instruction and intercourse, especiallj the sick and ignorant.
To prepare them for Ck>nfirmation and Holy Communion. To help them to resist all
evil and intemperate habits. To hold Services and Classes in the finger and sign
language. To assist them in obtaining suitable employment.
There are 312 cases now known in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight : five were
confirmed this year. The Lay Missionary has recently been ordained, and is now
actively engaged in the work of this Mission.
The necessities of the case call for a great deal of close personal supervision.
There are altogether 45 communicants ; and in the case of those living in Southampton
and Portsmouth the Missionary goes regularly with them to Celebrations of the Holy
Communion. A service is also systematically held at Aldershot. This work is one
of special interest, and lays considerable claim to the care of the Church.
Communications should be addressed to the Hon. Secretary, Bev. G.
M. Owen, St. George's Vicarage, Edgbaston, Birmingham; or to the
Missionary, Rev. R. A. Pearce, Homelands, Westwood Park, Sonthampion.
THE GIRLS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY.
This Society, which has now been working for eleven yeara, has gone on steadily
increasing in numbers and spreading at home and abroad.
In England and Wales there arc now 1,001,000 members, 24,000 associates, and
850 brandies.
It is satisfactory to find that the value of the Society is becoming more known
among the employers of young women, and that the proportion of members in busi-
ness has increased as well as of those in factories, so that the idea that the Society
was only intended for servants is gradually dying out.
The Recreation Rooms, which now number 164 in London and the Provinces,
are valued by these members, and they are specially intended for their use, the
objection to inviting servants to such rooms, or to evening classes, being fully
recognised.
It is much hoped to make the G.F.S. of use in the way of bringing to the notice of
girls the amount of good and cheap literature which is now to be obtained, guiding
them in their selection of what to read, and in every way trying to stem the flood of
mischievous reading wliich is one of the g^reat dangers of the day.
There are sister Societies in Scotland, Ireland, America, and the Colonies ; and in
the Diocese of LaJiore, India.
Objects of the Society : —
(1) To band together in one Society ladies as Associates, and girls and young
women as Members, for mutual help, sympathy, and prayer.
(2) To encourage purity of life, dutifulness to parents, faithfulness to employers,
and thrift.
(3) To provide the privileges of the Society for its members wherever they may
be by giving them an introduction from one Branch to another.

YOUNG WOMEN'S HELP SOCIETY.
This Society has been established for seven years, and has for its object the befriend-
ing of working girls and young married women, by banding them together to try
and lead a pure and upright life, providing them with instruction, both religious and
l^outtg ^omen's ^clp ^ocicfg. 91
secular, and obtaining innocent recreation for those who woald otherwise seek it in
places of temptation. Membership is attained through different progressive stages,
each of which has its appropriate Rule of Life.
In Iiondon and large manufacturing and g^arrison towns, where incumbents of
crowded districts find the organisation of the Society specially adapted to their needs
as a preventive influence, clubs, lodgings, and temperance refreshment bars held by
ladies, and libraries, penny banks, &c., are open for the sole use of members ; but
in rural districts, where the work is chiefly among married women and domestic
servants, the ordinary parish machinery is used. Travelling members from the
Central Ck>mmittee visit the country branches from time to time.
Lady workers must be Communicants, and be appointed by the parochial Clergy,
under whose direction the central rules require that each branch should work.
For the benefit of those working in manufacturing districts in London, homes (in
which they reside at their own expense) have been opened in East London at 26
London Street, BatclifiP, and 92 Goldsmith Row, Haggerstone (Visitor, the Bishop of
Bedford) ; and at 38 Tabard Street, Borough, S.fi., in the new Charterhouse Mission
(Visitor, the Bishop of Rochester).
The expenditure of the branches has exceeded 2,000^. during the past year.
The operations of the Society are extended all over England, and among women
employed in almost every kind of feminine labour. There are 72 branches in all.
Commonications should be addressed to Miss Alice Dimock, 29 Queen

PAROCHIAL MISSION WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION.
This Association was started in 1860 to benefit a class below that reached by ordinary
district visiting. For this purpose it was proposed to employ in a missionary character
poor women belonging to and living as members of the class among whom they were
to work ; and to assist the poor, n4ft hy gifts^ but by enabling them to purchase for
themselves, out of deposits collected weekly by the mission women, articles which
would tend directly or indirectly to improve their condition, and at the same time to
raise their tone and habits. One of the main principles laid down— and this has
never been departed from — was that no mission woman should be employed except
on the application of the incumbent of the parish or district in wliich she is to
work.
The mode of work is house-to-house visiting, and a special feature of the work is
collecting the pence of the poor, which, saved from less praiseworthy objects, are
gained for clothing and necessaries of life. As a collector the mission woman enters
into houses where she would not otherwise be admitted. A Mothera' Meeting is held
every week, when depositors can purchase goods at cost price in return for their
deposits (upon which no bonus is given), and where the lady who presides carries on
to a higher point, by reading and personal intercourse, the good work already begun
by the mission woman. Numerous instances could be given where the mission woman
has been the stepping-stone to the Church.
The Association now employs nearly 200 of these women ; they are working in
twenty Dioceses, but the larger number are attached to the Dioceses of London and
Rochester.
In 1885 the sums saved by the poor in the small instalments collected by i\\v
mission women amounted to no less a sum than 15,138/. 18«. 4^^/., and during the
twenty-six vears they have been at work the sum-total of the savings thus collocte«l
is262.440Z.16*. 7\d.

THE YOUNG MEN'S FRIENDLY SOCIETY.
The Young Men's Friendly Society is an attempt to solve in some measure that
which is really, perhaps, the g^ravest practical problem now pressing upon the Clergy
and Church-workers — how to win and how to retain the ladis and yonng men of the
nation. Founded in 1879, the Society has now upwards of 400 branches and affiliated
societies in England, Scotland, Ireland, the Colonies, and the United States of
America; and ov^er 18,000 associates and members, an increase of more than 4,000
on the previous year, All the English Bishops, and many of the most distingnl^ed
Clergy and Laity, are among its patrons and active supporters. Its object is to help
young men, both spiritually and temporally, by
(«) Promoting purity, temperance, and general morality.
(b) Befriending young men leaving home or moving from one place to another,
and protecting them from evil influences.
(r) Promoting thrift and independence, especially by encouraging yoong men to
make provision against sickness, accident, and want, on sound principles.
{d) Promoting a healthy tone of literature and amusement among yonng men.
{e) Promoting co-operation amongst institutions existing for kindred objects.
The Society consists of associates and members. Associates are ladies or gen*
tlemen, communicants of the Church of England. Members are young men of
good character, of the age of 13 and upwards.
The work of the Society is done chiefly through its branches and affiliated
societies, which the Council desire to increase. They aim at having either a branch
an affiliated society, or associates in every parish, in order, more especially, that Uie
system of the commendation of members leaving home to an associate in the place
of their future residence may be more efficiently carried out.

Offices, Northumberland Chambers, Northumberland Avenue, London,

IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS TO THE ROMAN CATHOLICS.
(With which is incorporated the late IRISH 80CIET7 OF LOHBOH.)
This Society lias been in existence for thirty-seven years. Its object is to promote
the glory of God in the salvation of our Boman Catholic fellow-snbjecU in Ire-
land.
Its operations are carried on in connection with the Church of Ireland, under the
superintendence of twen(y-one Missionary Clergymen, who are licensed by the Aroh-
bishop and Bishops of their respective Dioceses.
The Society, under one directorate, combines a considerable number of distinctive
agencies, in each of which the Irish or English language is used according to the
necessities of the case.
It is a Parochial Mission Society, special missions being undertaken by its agents,
whenever requested by the local Clergy, in various parts of Ireland.
It is a Bible and Colportage Society, a lai^ staff of lay agents being engaged in
the sale and circulation of copies of the Holy Scriptures.
It is a Scripture Beaders' Society, and 63 well-trained agents are daUy engaged
in this work, visiting from house to house. Irish-speaking readers are employed in
district-s where any of the people understand the Gaelic.
It is a Pastoral Aid Society, the ministry of the Irish Church being carried on by
clerical missionaries in remote places where there are very few Protestants.
It is a Church Day and Sunday School Society, maintaining 32 Sunday schooli
and 66 day schools, attended by about 5,000 scholars of all ages, who are daily in-
structed in the Scriptures by 85 trained schoolmasters and mistresses, together with
a considerable staff of voluntary workers.
It is a Training Institution with two training schools, in which male and female
agents are specially prepared for mission work.

LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY
AMONGST THE JEWS,
CoBititntioii.— This is distinctively a Choroh of England Society, and has the two-
fold object of Evangelisation of the Jews at home and in foreign lands. Its patrons
are the Archbishops and mcst of the Bishops.
Agents and Statioxu.^The Society employed daring the year 140 agents, consist-
ing of ordained missionaries, lay and medical missionaries, schoolmasters and mis-
tresses. Scripture Readers, and colporteurs. Of this large number 83 are Christian
Israelites. The number of stations was 35, viz. 6 in England, 20 upon the continent
of Europe, 6 in Asia (of which 4 are in the Holy Land), and 4 in Africa. The
Society also made gprants for a missionary curate and 2 lay helpers to 3 Clergymen
in London, whose parishes contain a large Jewish population.
Seluwli. — The Society's Mission Schools in London, Jerusalem, Constantinople,
Damascus, Bucharest, Mogador, Tunis, kc, continued to educate several himdreds of
Jewidi children, while at the Hebrew Missionary Training Institution in London 4
students were receiving instruction to fit them for future missionary labour.
BaptUms. — Many Jews were admitted into the Church by Holy Baptism by the
Society's missionaries in London, Berlin, Hamburg, Jerusalem, Konigsberg, Breslau,
Constantinople, Paris, Rtrasburg, KischinefiP, and elsewhere ; while, as always happens,
numerous Christian Israelites, instructed by the Society's agents, were baptized by
parochial clergymen at home and abroad, 10 Falasha Jews of Abyssinia were
baptised. It is estimated by an independent authority that every year 1,200 to
1,500 Jews leave the synagogue for the Church of Christ ; a great result, owing in
a large measure to the Society's far and wide propagation of tlie Gospel amongst
them.
lOsdonary Journeys and Circulation of Holy Scriptures, ite. — During the year
hundreds of towns in Europe, Asia, and Africa, with a vast aggregate Jewish popula-
tion, were visited by the Society's missionaries. The Holy Scriptures in various lan-
guages and relig^us publications were widely disseminated. At Bucharest alone
780 New Testaments (whole or in part) were sold to Jews. There is a very wide-
spread desire on the part of Jews to become acquainted with the principles of
Christianity. Altogether, more than three quarters of a million of the Sacred
Scriptures, 20,000 copies of the Church of England Prayer-book in Hebrew, and
upwards of four and a quarter millions of missionary books and tracts have been
circulated amongst the Jews since the Society was established.
The Holy Land. — Since the new station has been opened at Safet in Galilee, an
ordained missionary has been working with much encouragement. From 60 to 90
Jews attend Mission Boom three times a week to listen to the Gospel. At Jerusalem
4 adult Jews were baptized. Upwards of 100 Jews were under Christian instruction.
The Schools, Home of Industry, and Inquirers' Home, were filled with inmates,
while the Hospital gave medical relief to 664 indoor and 7,862 outdoor patients.
A Scripture Reader is stationed at Jaffa, and missionary visits paid to Hebron, Artouf,
Tiberias, Haifa, &c.
Ineome.— The income for 1885-86 was 39,997/. is. 5d,
South Bnstia. — The 'Keform Movement' continues to attract much attention.
Numbers of Jews have professed faith in Christ. Their leader, Joseph Rabinovitz, is
in close communication with the Society's missionary at Eischineff, who has baptized
seyeral of the former's adherents.

PAROCHIAL MISSION TO THE JEWS' FUND.
This Fund continues with quiet, steady success to prosecute its Iiomc mission work
among tiic Jews. Its method of working is to give assistance to the Church in the
large centres of population where the Jews find their habitation, by providing a
curate who is specially capable of a^lapting himself to this particular work. With
this end in view the Committee applies its funds, in grants either towards special
training, or towards the stipends of curates approved and licensed by the Bishop.
The annual meeting of the Society was held in «fane last under the presidency of the
Bishop of Lichfield. The secretary stated that the income amounted to 6502. 10«. Id.,
and that grants had been made amounting to 7402. 1 St. 6d,
At the annual meeting the Bishop of Lichfield evinced in his remarks a deep
interest in the work, and the Rev. Dr. Edersheim delivered a powerful address
on the subject of Jewish missions. A very satisfactory account was also given both
of the success of the Mission and of the interest taken in it by Churchmen. The
Report for 1885 contains a summary of the work done by the Fund since its founda-
tion in 1876.
GoinmaDications should be addressed to the Rev. Canon B. Sntton,
Pevensej Vicarage, Hastings ; or the Be v. John George Deed, Arundel
House, Victoria Embankment, W.C. Information on the work of the
Fund may also be obtained from the Bev. George Margoliouth, Organising
Secretary.
FUNERAL REFORM.
The Church of England Burial, Funeral, and Mourning Reform Association aims at
promoting a fuller appreciation of the idea of Christian burial, encouraging burial in
perishable coffins in the simple earth, and simplifyine and cheapening funeral and
mourning ceremonial. Its basis is 'The Order for the Burial of the Dead * in the
Prayer Book.
Communications may be addressed to the Honorary Secretary, Bey.

SECTION v.— HOME MISSION WOIIK.
PAROCHIAL MISSIONS.
With all the adyantages which the parochial system, diligently worked,
offers for guiding the spiritual life of the habitual church-goers, it has
yet been proyed by experience, that not only is it needful from time to
time to make use of exceptional means for quickening the graces of the
Spirit in the hearts and liyes of those who haye embraced the Christian
faith, but that, without some specially arousing influences, it seems almost
hopeless to gather within the fold of the Church those who are now Hying
utterly godless liyes.
It is eyident that there has been of late years a yery marked re-
yiyal of religious life and actiyity throughout the Church, both in towns
and yiUages, and this is no doubt largely owing to the holding of Paro-
chial Missions.
^atocf)ial fissions* 95
In previous Tolnmes of this book the object and growth of this
movement have been carefully dealt with, and the records which are now
given show that there is in every quarter an increased desire to bring to
the masses of the {>eople in their common life of duty, temptation, and
suffering, the teaching and comfort of the Gospel of Christ.
It will be seen that in the towns of Derby, Nottingham, and Bolton,
as well as in other places of smaller size, great efforts have been made in
this direction, and the success which has followed is full of encourage-
ment for the present and hope for the future.
As a Parochial Mission is now fully recognised as a subsidiary agency
to systematic pastoral work, it is only natural to find that in several in-
stances Diocesan organisations have been formed to give encouragement
and direction to this special work.
The short statements which follow will enable the reader to form
some idea of the extent and practical usefulness of these efforts.
We have farther endeavoured to supply a list of Parochial Missions
since Advent last ; considerable trouble has been taken to make it com-
plete, though no doubt, from one cause or another, omissions will be
found.
A list of Mission Preachers is also furnished for the assistance of those
who may contemplate a Parochial Mission and be anxious to select
suitable Missioners. In the compilation of this list regard has been had
to the experience and fitness of those whose names are inserted.
CHURCH PAROCHIAL MISSION SOCIETY.
This Society commenced its work as the Aitkcn Memorial Mission Fund. It was
rather under the pressure of an urgent nee<l, than as a tribute to the memory of an
individual that the Society was formed. After the General London Mission of 1873,
so wide an interest in religious matters was awakened, as to afford the clergy a special
opportunity of making the Church more than ever the centre of the spiritual vitality
of the parish. A fund was therefore raised to enable clergymen, who possessed the
necessary gifts, to devote themselves exclusively to the conduct of missions, and to
provide additional curates for the parishes of others, who were able from time to
time to assist in such work.
In carrying out the general objects of this Society, the Committee has determined
to embrace a wider range of work than hitherto attempted. It will seek in future to
find clergy capable and willing to conduct Retreats and Quiet Days both for the
clergy and laity, to arrange for special addresses to men, dealing with the subjects of
social purity, temperance, and scepticism, and further to give such assistance, as it
may be able, in the holding of tent services and itinerant missions. During the last
year the Society undertook a special mission in Sierra Leooe and Lagos, which proved
successful in many ways.
Its missioners took part in parochial missions at Bolton, Tunbridgc, Tetsworth,
and Bamsley, and at Cambridge for members of the university.
Summary of missions held in England and Wales by preachers on the staff of the
Society : —
During the year 1885-6, 230; total, 1,459.
Missions held in Ireland, 4 ; total, 78.
In Scotland, total, 3.

THE CHURCH HOME MISSION.
This Society was established in 1858 for the purpose of carrying on Evangelistic
work in towns and villages, by the voluntary service of Clergy who undertake to
devote a week to visit a certain fixed area of parishes, taking a service in the church
or schoolroom night by night. During last year 120 parishes were so visited.
Gommanicaiions with regard to this work should be addressed to Bey.
John Gritton, Sidcup, Kent.
THE CHURCH ARMY.
The Church Army is a working-man's Church Mission to working-men. It is the
restoration of a minor order in the Church, an order which, as it gladly submits itself
both to the Bishop and the parish priest, is an order indeed, and not a disorder. Tiic
Church Army provides incumbents with trained and qualified Evangelists for short or
prolonged mission work, adapting it^j labours to suit the special needs of each parish.
The Training Home is a large building situate in the Edgware Road, London. In
country places several parishes unite to engage the services of an officer for a period.
In many parishes the work becomes a permanent work among adults, just as the
Sunday School is among the children. The Evangelist rarely stays more than six
raontl^, being then exchanged for another : they are usually licensed by the Bishop.
The Evangelist is under a bond of 500/. to move out of any parish at any time and
never to return to it in any mission capacity.
The officer seeks to collect as much of his stipend from the working people as
possible. In some cases they collect all, and in some scarcely anything ; all differ.
The salary ranges from 19*. to 32j». per week. Every effort is made to develop the
speaking power of the laity, and assist the Vicar in attaching the converts to the
Holy Table and the Bible.
No political or Church party spirit is allowed to be manifested. The Sacraments
are recognised in the preaching ; sinless perfection is not taught. They preach (a) the
real conversion of those living without God, (b) holiness of heart and life, and (c) the
enfolding the converts into the Church.
The following facts will give some idea of the character and extent of this work : —
20,000 out-door meetings annually ; 20,000 indoOr meetings annually; 3,000,000
attending them annually; 3,000 adult converts confirmed; 1,000 waiting to be con-
firmed ; 6,000 regular communicant members, all humble speakers in the cause
of Christ, many of whom were formerly drunkards, wife-beaters, gamblers, blas-
phemers, &o. ; subscriptions and donations received centrally in the year, over 3,000/.:
locally received mostly in working people's pence in the year, over 6,000/. ; 99 officer-
evangelists wholly engaged in addition to the staff; 150,000 visits >vith Bible or
Prayer annually ; 7,500 Church attendances with members ; many parishes are wait-
ing for officers ; many candidates in training ; many more suitable candidates are
applying.
The above are most carefully estimated.
The fund for training the officers is quite exhausted.
The Rev. W. Carlile, Honorary Secretary, Headquarters, 128 and 130
Edgware Road, London, W., will furnish every information.

DIOCESAN MISSIOK PBEACHEBS* SOCIETT.
In conformity with the resolution passed at tha Diocesan Con-
ference 1883, a Society of Mission Preachers has been consti-
tuted. In addition to the holding of Parochial Missions, it
aims at assisting the devotional life of the Clergy by holding
Quiet Days ; its inclusive objects are thus stated: *To facilitate
the holding of Parochial Missions, and for the furtherance of
special evangelistic and devotional efforts in the Diocese.'
In fulfilment of its object, the Council has, with the consent of the
Bishop, secured the services of 18 Clergy of the Diocese as
Mission Preachers. It has also enrolled others, both clergy arid
laity, as members. The Society was instrumental in organising
and conducting several Missions during the last year, and also
in arranging Quiet Days for the Clergy. One or two Lenten
and Advent courses of addresses have been given, and there is
ground for encouragement that the Society will grow in useful-
ness.
All commanications should be addressed to the Rev.
F. B. Do Chair, Morley Rectory, Wymondham ; or io

SOCIETY OF MISSION CLEBOT.
This Society labours to promote and facilitate the holding of
Parochial Missions and other special services, particularly in
country parishes, with a view to the conversion of the ungodly,
and the revival and deepening of spiritual life in the Diocese.
In union with the Society there are seventeen members and
thirty-one associates.
During the year 188G it has held Missions at All Saints*, Lough-
borough ; Holy Trinity, Loughborough ; Emmanuel, Lough-
borough ; Syston, Seal ford, Ibstock, llugglescote, and Coalville, all
in the Diocese of P«>tcrborough. It has also held Missions out
of the Diocese at S^ Peter's, Walworth (Wellington College
Mission), South London ; Christ Church, Mirfield ; and Robert
Town, Normanton. That branch of the Society's work which
provides for the preaching of courses of sermons in Lent and
Advent has been fully maintained.
The expenses of the Society are mainly discharged by the parishes
which invite its assistance. The offertories at the half-yearly
Chapters pay for the necessary printing.
Communications should be made to the Warden, Rev.
Canon T wells, Rector of Waltham ; or to the Honorary
Secretary, the Rev. D. W. Barrett, Vicar of Nassington.
SPECIAL MISSIOK SOCIETY.
TiiE general object of this Society is the evangelisation of the

It has on its roll 20 qualified missioners, 26 assistant missioners,
and 63 ordinary associates, of whom 9 arc laymen. Four Paro-
chial Missions have been held in the Diocese since October,
1885. There have also been held several 'Retreats,* 'Quiet

in Dorset for clergy of the Diocese, conducted by the Bishop,
and a devotional gathering for lay helpers in the Diocese, sum-
moned by the Bishop and held in the Cathedral. The Society *8
annual day of devotion and conference was held at Salisbur}-,
under the presidency of the Bishop, on July 20 last. There was
an attendance of about 60 associates. At the annual meeting of
the Society on October 26 last certain simple rules of holy
living were agreed upon, for the general consideration and
guidance of the associates, both clerical and lay. In conse-
quence of a resolution of the Diocesan Synod in May last, the
Bishop has instituted a small Society of Clergy, resident in
Salisbury (with whom he hopes ere long to associate some lay
workers), under the name of the * Diocesan Missioners of St.
Andrew,' for the purpose of undertaking any special ministerial
work to which the Bishop might wish to send them, and,
eventually, in co-operation with the Diocesan Special Mission
Society, to conduct and assist in conducting Parochial Missioss
in the Diocese.
All commnnioations should be addressed to Rev.

DIOCESAir MIS8I0HEBS OF ST. ANDBEW.
This Society has been recently formed with a view to provide
temporary and occasional duty in cases of the sickness or death
of an Incumbent, or of his enforced absence from home.
The need of such a provision is very generally felt, as the work of
the Church has oftentimes been seriously injured by the minis-
tration of unworthy or unsuitable persons occupying the posi-
tion of locum tenrns during a vacancy.
It will be hccn that the Society has still wider objects in view,
from tlie following resolution which was unanimously passed at
the Diocesan Synod in May last : —
* Tliat, liaving regard to various spiritual wants in the Diocese, it
is desirable that the Bishop should be supported by a small
body of unbeneficed Clergy resident in Salisbury, who should
be ready to undertake any special ministerial or mission work
to which the Bishop might wish to send them.'
In acting upon this resolution, the Bishop has already secured the
services of two Priests, who reside with him in the Palace, and
it is hoped shortly to increase this number.
It is intended to supplement the permanent staff by a number of
Associates, who shall hold themselves in readiness to take such
duty, either with or without remuneration, whenever their
engagements permit.
Gommanications respecting this work should be made
to C. W.Holgate, Esq., The Palace, Sah'sbury.

Name of Mission
In this Diocese the Mission work is under the care of a Canon
Missioner. The present holder of the stall is Rev. F. E. Carter,
who is as yet working alone. The Bishop has brought the sub-
ject of special Missions before the Ruri-Decanal Conferences
during the past year, in the hope of determining further the
work of Missions in the Diocese. During the past year Mis-
sions have been held at Egloshayle and Porthleven. The Canon
Missioner's time has been largely employed in conducting spe-
cial services, generally lasting four or five days — some of an
Evangelistic cliaracter, others of the nature of an < Instruction '
Mission — at various places in the Diocese. Such services are
found very useful in cases where as yet a more formal and pro-
longed Mission is felt to be undesirable. The Missioner has been
also especially engaged during part of the past year in giving
addresses to men on the subject of Social Purity, and in orga-
nising Purity work. Quiet Days have been held at Launceston
and St. Erth, and a Retreat for the Associates of the Community
of the Epiphany at Truro.
All communications should be addressed to Bey. F. F.
Carter, Truro.
LIST OF MISSIONS.
This list is an announcement of the Missions held during the past

SECTION VI.-'EOME MISSION WORK.
LAY READERS.
Recent discussions upon the subject, of Church Reform have served very
forcibly to show how largely a generous recognition and use of Lay help
is needed to promote the growth and success of the work of the Church.
There are no doubt some points in constitution and government which
call for reconsideration and amendment of a legislative character, but
the most helpful of all reforms will be found in a wider adaptation of the
ministry of the Church to the spiritual and temporal wants of the people.
To accomplish this it is urgently needful that the work of the Clergy
should be largely supplemented by practical services from the Laity. If
only this can be accomplished the Church would at once possess a ten-
fold firmer hold upon the afiections of the people, which would quietly
dispel the desire and supposed necessity for many of the impracticable
schemes of Church Reform which have of late been proposed and dis-
cussed.
The' Year Book of 1885, p. 88, presented a comprehensive Report
upon the action of Church Councils in favour of an official recognition of
Lay help ; and for those who desire to inform themselves upon the subject,
it would be well to refer to the information which is there given.
In several instances the decisions of the Clergy and Laity in Diocesan
Conferences have assumed a practical shape in the formation of Lay
Readers' Associations.
It could hardly bo expected that we should see very rapid growth in a
work practically novel in the organisation of the Church ; but it is yet
evident that, under wise and patient direction, the movement itself gives
promise of lasting results for good. For the guidance of those who may
wish for such information we have collected specimen Forms of Licence
and Instruction for Lay Readers, which will be found in the reference
section of the Volume for 1886.
The following records indicate briefly the objects of such Associatiors,
the methods by which they seek to accomplish their work, and some of
the results which have followed :
DIOCESAN 0ROAKI8ATI0H8.
I I i
Dioc^'se I Lay He'pcrs' Association |
London . j The London Lay Helpers' Association has now been in existence
for twenty years. Its object is to organise, stimulate, and
expand the Lay religious work of the Diocese. It ignores all
party distinctions, and is catholic in the widest sense.
Its one aim is to assist the Clergy, and to take some of the burden
from tlicir shoulders. It offers no suggestion how the work is
to be done, but heartily welcomes all who will join its ranks. Any
Layman is eligible who (being a Communicant) will undertake
c$aB Readers.

to devote some portion of his time gratuitously tod regularly to
some Church work. There is no annual or other subscription.
The number of enrolled members now exceeds 5,000. To this Asso-
ciation is in a great measure due the development of the scheme
for the training of Lay Readera from every Diocese in England
and Scotland, by a course of instruction and residence for from
two to four weeks within the walls of Keble College, Oxford,
during the Long Vacation. From forty to fifty Readers annually
avail themselves of this privilege, and many are glad to repeat
their visit for a second and third time, appreciating to the full
not only the opportunity of hearing able theological lectures,
sermons, and addresses, but perhaps still more the advantage
of mingling with others engaged in similar work, exchanging
ideas, forming new friendships, and breathing for a time a new
atmosphere away from the business of ordinary life.
To this Association also is in a great measure due the inauguration
of the * London Diocesan Magazine,* the first number of which
was issued in May 1886. The magazine is published monthly,
under the immediate sanction of the Bishop of the Diocese, and
is intended to afford information of what is being done in the
Diocese towards the advancement of Church work.
In the past, as in former years, the Association has carried out its
programme of Services and Lectures as follows : —
(1) Four Special Services in the Crypt of St. Paul's, followed by
Social Meetings in the Chapter House.
(2) A Special Service under the Dome of St. Paul's, on March 8.
(.3) A Special Communion in St. Paul's Cathedral, and a Special
Evening Service in Westminster Abbey, on June 29.
(4) Two courses of Lectures, followed lay an examination and
award of prizes.

LAY HEIFEBS* ASSOCIATIOK.
Though there is no Diocesan Society, every encouragement is
given by the Bishop to the formation of local associations in
various populous districts, and the steady increase of the move-
ment shows that its importance is fully recognised, and members
of the different societies arc summoned torrether frnni time to
time by the Bishop in the Cathedral, or at some other place as
may be appointed.
Lay EvangeliBts* Association for the Deanery of Auckland.— ^This
Association has recently been formed with the object of employ-
ing laymen regularly or occasionally in mission-room and opon-
. air services, and such other evangelistic work as may be found
adWsable. The members are divided into two sections, Evan- ;
gelists and Assistant Evangelists ; the former are chosen from
Communicants who have already acquired experience and lit- |
ness for their work, the latter are persons who are more or less |
under special training, and it is proposed that they shall serve I
a probation of twelve months at least, and pass a detinite j
examination. Official recognition by the Bishop is an essential I
qualification in the appointment of members of this Afifv^ci^\\oi[i. \

LAY HELPERS* A8S0CUTI0N.
This Association was founded in November 1881, and was
the outcome of the report of a committee appointed by the
Diocesan Conference for the purpose of drawing up a set of
rules by which lay help could be organised and directed.
All Church workers, if oommunicants, may become members, it
being tlie wish of the Council to combine in one large society
all who are devoting themselves to any siKJcial religious work in
the various parishes of the Diocese.
The fourth annual meeting of the Society took place at Wells on
July 22. There was Holy Communion In the Cathedral at half-
past ten, and a short service in the Nave at a quarter-past two,
with sermon. The Conference was held at three in the Chapter
House (which was crowded) under the presidency of the Bishop.
The paper that was read was on Lay Preaching.
The number of associates and members for this, the fourth year,
has greatly increased.
Any one joining the society is furnished with a card of member-
ship, on which is printed a prayer, drawn up by the Bishop, and
recommended for daily use. Each member also receives a copy
of the annual report, In which the list of members for the cur-
rent year is published. The subscription is fixed at 6d. each,
and the amount thus raised has been found sufficient to meet
all expenses.
It has recently been decided to olTer a few small grants to Lay
Kea<lcrs who may be desirous of availing themselves of the
ourse of instruction provided during the Long Vacation every
year either at Oxford or Cambridge, under the auspices of the
London Association of Lay Helpers.
Hon. Secretaries : — Clerical, Rev. Prebendary Coleman, Cheddar,
Weston-super-Mare ; Rev. A. Phillips, Hendford, Yeovil.

LAY HELPERS* ASSOCUTION.
A Committee appointed by the Bishop in accordance with the
resolution of the Diocesan Conference has drawn up a scheme of
constitution for the working of this Association. The objects of
the Society may be stated as : 1. — To encourage Laymen to
take a definite share in Church work, and to enforce on them
the duty of assisting in such work. 2. — To obtain help for the
Clergy in all work which does not essentially belong to the
Ministerial Office, and to relieve them in the secular part of
Parochial Work. 3. — To unite all the Members in sympathy
and by intercession one for the other. The Association recog-
nises as principles that there shall be : (a) No interference on
the part of the Association or its Agents between the Clergy
and their Lay Workers ; and (b) Full acknowledgment of Lay
Workers and their work, whether they become members of the
Association or not. Over eighty Laymen have been already
enrolled as Members.

Has just been formed, and the following extracts from its Rules
indicate the methods upon which it will proceed in carrying
out its work : —
(a.) This Association shall consist of Lay persons, being communi-
cants, who arc willing to do some work for the Church under
■ the Direction of, and in co-operation with, the Parochial Clergy.

two or more Parishes, or in a Rural Deanery.
(<T.) The Association shall comprise two divisions, one of men,
the other of women members.
(d.) A Member shall be admitted on the recommendation of the
Incumbent of the Parish in which such Member resides, or of
two Members of the Association ; and shall receive, on admis-
sion, a card of Membership stating that his or her name has

There are now 316 enrolled Lay members.
Communications shoald be addressed to Rev. W. Elliot,
Brinsop Yicarage, Hereford.
DIOCESAN LAY HELPERS* AS80CIATI0K.
Was formed in 1882, in accordance with a resolution of the
Diocesan Conference. The Members of the Association are
encouraged to assist the general work of the Church by house
to house visitation, teaching in Night Schools, giving encourage-
ment to Workmen^s Clubs, holding Mission Services, and
similar work. During the present year arrangements have
been made for a course of Six Lectures, upon the following
subjects: — 'Agnosticism, Paganism, Atheism, Pantheism, God
not unknowable, a Christ not improbable.' There are now
more than 600 enrolled Lay Helpers and 41 Lay Readers
admitted to their office by the Bishop, and working with his
sanction.
Commnnications should be addressed to the Hon.
Secretaries, Rev. J. H. Honeybume, 97 Mulgrave
Street, Liverpool ; or W. Forshaw Wilson, Esq.,
26 Castle Street, Liverpool.
LAY HELPEBS* AS80CIATI0K.
The Inaugural Meeting of this Association took place on Nov. 25
1886. There was a Celebration of the Holy Communion in the
Cathedral at 7.30 a.m., and shortened Evensong at 7.16 p.m.
1 The Meeting was held in the Cathedral School at 8 p.m., and

there was a large attendance of Clergy and Lay workeis. The
Bishop presided, and strongly recommended the Associfation as
a means of mcreasing the number of Lay Helpers, getting for
them anthoritative commission, and bringing them into a close
and stronger union.
The Report adopted by the Diocesan Conference was reail, the
Committee appointed, and on the motion of the Dean it was
unanimously resolved : * That this first Annual Meeting of the
Diocesan Lay Helpers' Association pledges itself to biing the
Association to the knowledge of the Churchworkers of the
Diocese as a bond of union between all Lay workers, and of
relationship between the Bishop and the parishes.*
Information may be obtained from the Beit. J. M. Elvy,
Honorary Secretary, Cathedral, Manchester.

DIOCESAN LAY HELPEB8* ASSOCIATION.
Was formed in 1880, with the object of giying gratuitous
assistance to tlie Clergy in carrying on various branches of
Church work on their invitation, and under their direction and
approval.
The report recently presented to the Diocesan Conference shows
that the Association is carrying on a most valuable work, by
the holding of Mission Services in the most populous centres of
the Diocese.
Arrangements for testing the intellectual fitness of the Readers,
by an examination in certain branches of Theological study,
and the issue of the licence is dependent upon the result of
the Candidate's passing. Associations have been formed in
five Kural Deaneries, and there are now about 120 licensed
Readers.
From the date of the inauguration of the Society to the present
time about 300 Members have been enrolled, of whom 100
have received the Bishop's licence.
Special arrangements have been made during the year in pur-
suance of Resolutions of the Diocesan Conference for the
Registration of all Church workers in the Diocese. The Consti-
tution and Rules of the Association have been revised and
issued with a commendatory letter from the Bishop.
The Bishop has instituted an Annual Return by the parochial
Clergy of the Lay workers in their parishes ; and it is hoped
that in this way a thorough and systematic registration of all
Church workers in the Diocese may be obtained.
Communications should be addressed to the Hon. Sec-
retary, Heniy Barker, Esq., Yorkshire Bank Chambers,
Huddersfield.

GUILDS AND TTNIOKS FOR THE ADVAKCEMEin: OF THE DEYOTIOKAL LIFE
AMOKO COMMirKICAirTS AND CHXTBCH WORKESS.
The revival of spiritual life in the Church has naturally opened new
fields of labour for those who would devote themselves to the service of
Gt>d, and has directly tended to quicken the zeal of many who have
124
i^f)uxcf) ^oxhexs' i^niibs.
already been labouring for the extension of Christ's Kingdom. This
being so, it has become the dntj of the Chnrch not only to direct, bat to
keep alive the spirit of devotion by oflfering special opportunities for
retirement and close communion with God ; it is impossible to over-rate
the peculiar value of sach a provision, as the depth and permanence of all
service offered to God must depend upon the measure of the hearths devo-
tion and the habitual consecration of the life to Christ's service. We
have endeavoured to obtain some information with regard to Ketreats
and Devotional Gatherings for Lay persons — Communicants and Church-
workers — and from the short records we are able to give, it is possible to
judge of the character, though not of the extent of this work. It may
be well shortly to draw attention to the Devotional Services for Sanday
School Teachers which have systematically been held for three Lenten
seasons in the Diocese of St. i^lbans. These services have been arranged
at different fixed centres in the Diocese, conveniently chosen, and the
attendance has not only been large, but increasing year by year. This
example has been since followed in the Diocese of Manchester, and there
is every encouragement to believe that the movement has proved exceed-
ingly valuable.
In treating of the subject of Guilds and such like Associations, it is
extremely difficult at present to formulate any records which would present
a comprehensive account of what is really being done. The number,
variety, and objects of these Associations are so great that it is next to
impossible to obtain or condense information regardiog them. It must
suffice, therefore, shortly to describe the aim of those which have more
or less a general and diocesan character.

THE CHXTBCH OTTILDS TTNION.
This is a voluntary Association of Guilds and similar societies of the Church of
England, desiroos of helping each other in the furtherance of the good works whidi
are set before them.
The primary objects are to seek the glory of God, and to promote the exercise of
love and goodwill towards men.
The Union embraces all societies of men, women, and children, of the nature of a
Guild, being members of the Church of England or of churches in communion there-
with.
No interference is intended with the autonomy of any society, and it 's not
required of the members of the Guilds entering the Union to undertake obligatioi 8
of any description, further than those already enjoined by their own instil utionSf
except the remembrance of each other in their prayers.
@l^urc]^ ^orfeers' (guilds. 127
About two hundred Guilds have enrolled themselves in the Union, being but a
small proportion of the hundreds or thousands of such societies which now exist
througfnout the country.
T^se bodies may be roughly divided into the following classes :
1. Parochial or Local, for adults.
2. Parochial or Local, for the young.
3. Glass, for partiouls^ sections of society, professions, and trades.
4. For Special Objects — ^as education, Christian burial, care of the sick, weak, or
Indigent.
5. General, for all descriptions of labours of charity and religion, and not con-
fined to any class or parish,
A copy of the * Directory of the Churoh Guilds Union/ and other in-
formation may be obtaihed of H. Mapleton Chapman, Hon. Secretary,
General C.G.U., St. Martin's Priory, Canterbury.
Special Guilds. — The following short notices should only be taken as
descriptive of similar work, and not by any means as comprehensive of
all such movements, for assisting the spiritual life and zeal of faithful
Churchmen.
The Vnivertity of Oxford.—* The Guild of the Holy Trinity * was founded in 1844
for the members of the Unirersity, offering them opportunities, from time to time,
for prayer, meditation, and instruction. l£ere are at present over 270 members.
The University of Cambridge.—* The Guild of the Holy Trinity ' was founded in
1 857 for the members of the University. There are now about 400 members who meet
periodically for devotional exercises and mutual intercourse, upon subjects relating
to the individual and corporate life of the Church.
The Army. — • The Guild of the Holy Standard ' was formed In 1873 with the approval
of the Chaplain-General. Its object is to set forth In the Army * the faith of Jesus
Christ as taught by the Church.' It alms at promoting a higher tone of life, especially
as regards courage, temperance, purity, and manliness, and of exercising an influence
for good among young soldiers. The total number on the muster roll is about 1,400.
The means by which the Guild tries to gain these objects are : — By requiring that all its
members and associates shall be regular Communicants. By individual as well as
united prayer for God's blessing on the GoUd, and by the observance of a simple rule
of life. By the formation of branches of the Guild in every garrison where British
soldiers are quartered, and on active service. By regular meetings both for devo-
tional and business purposes, the better to encourage one another in the work. By
establishing Guild Libraries in connection with the branches, for the supply of litera-
ture of a l^lthy and moral tone. The Guild is wide in its operations, extending to
all parts of the globe where the military are quartered.
Communications should be made to the Secretary- Greneral, Major G. E.
Wyndham Malet, Junior United Service Club, S.W.
The Medical Profession.—* The Guild of St. Luke ' was founded In 1864. The
object of it is to promote and defend the Catholic Faith, especially amongst
members of the Medical Profession, by (a) Frequent and regular Communions.
(ft) Intercessory prayer. (<?) Personal influence and example, {d) Promotion of
works of mercy. The Guild consists of students and practitioners of medicine, being
communicants of the English branch of the Church Catholic. All the officers and
members of the council are elected annually. The council coosibts of the provost, vicc-
provost, warden, treasurer, secretary, and seven other members. The annual meeting
and Mrvice are held on St. Luke's Day or within the octave. Nomination papers and
every information will be gladly supplied by the officers : —

The Bailway Service.— The * Guild of the Holy Cross ' was fonnded in 1872 for
the purpose of uniting different members in the railway servioe in endeavoon to
further their spiritual life.
DI0CE8£ OF CANTSEBUBY.
Union of Chnroh Workers and Commnnieantf .^This Society was formed, and
encouraged under the direction of the late Archbishop of Canterbniy, ' that those
who are engaged in various branches of Church work in the Diooese may be
encouraged by the direct recognition) and sanction of their Bishop, and affoided
opportunities of meeting together. That by afisociation on Christian principles,
the good resolutions and spiritual life of other members of the Church may be
deepened and strengthened, particularly at the season of their Confirmation.'
In fulfilment of the objects of this Union meetings are held from time to
time in the Diocese, at which various subjects touching upon the work of the
Church are fully discussed, whilst services are also proWded with the design of
encouraging the devotional life of Communicants and Churchworkers.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. R. Ffrench-Blake, The
Rectory, Staple, or the Rev. Canon Knollys, The Rectory, Wrotham.
DIOCESE OF LICHFIELD.
Diocesan Commnnieants' Onilds Union. — There are now twenty Goilda which
have joined this Union, the object of which is to bind Communicants together for
holiness, work, and prayer. As opportunity has been given, the members of the
Union have met together in the Cathedral and other places, for devotional
exercises and for united counsel upon various branches of Chnroh work. The
movement has received the fullest encouragement from the Bishop, and there
are indications that much good has already resulted.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. C. B. Maude, Vicar of
Wilnecote, Tamworth.
DIOCESE OF TBUEO.
The object of * The Chnrch Society,* which has been established in the Diocese
of Truro for some years, is to help those who have been confirmed and are com-
municants to keep steadfast in the faith, and to persevere in a holy and consistent
Christian life.
There are three rules of membership :— I. To be a regular oommnnicant of
the Church. II. To undertake some definite work in the Church. UL To use
daily the prayer of the Society.
The work of the Society has !been inaugurated in about 40 parishes in the
Diocese, and the total number of members exceeds 1,200.
The parochial meetings of the Society are generally held monthly, in some
parishes more frequently.
The Society's manual has been recently revised under the direction of the
Bishop.
Gommnnications should be addressed to the Rev. E. Townaend, St
John's Vicarage, Penzance.

Whether or not scepticism, in its several phases, is on the increase, it is
still prevalent enongh to arouse, on the part of the Church, a very definite
effort to meet these attacks from unbelieving men. The Clergy them-
selves are, no doubt, the best judges as to the means which should be used
to check this force of evil in their parishes, yet there is still need that
means of a more general character should be used through the agencies
of societies distinctly devoting themselves to this branch of Church work.
The reader may form some idea of what is being done from the following
brief reports. It may be interesting to add that special attention has been
given to this subject by the Committee of the Oxford House, in Bethnal
Green, and the series of papers the Committee is issuing upon religious sub.
jects, written for working-men, has already proved successful in counteract-
ing the spread of infidelity among the artisan class in the East of London.
SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE.
CHRISTIAN EVIDENCE COMMITTEE.
This Society has for some years past naturally and actively turned its
attention to the necessity of grappling with the prevalent scepticism of
the present day, and has successfully counteracted much of this great evil
by the publication of a most valuable series of manuals in support of
Christian evidence. It may be well to give here the following short ex-
tracts from recent reports of the Society, representing its action in this
important department of Church work to the present date.
The Committee have not published during the year any new work. Their
attention was drawn, as mentioned in the last report, to the necessity of doing
something to meet the spread of infidelity in India. After a considerable correspon-
dence with the Indian Episcopate as to the best means of meeting the evil, the
Committee came to the conclusion that no special class of evidential publications
was needed for the purpose.
Acting upon the recommendation of the Indian Bishops, the Committee suggested
to the Standing Committee the advisability of seeking authority from the Society to
distribute free grants of the Society's Evidential Publications to the various educa-
tional institutions in India. The Standing Committee proposed that 2001. worth of
books should be appropriated for this purpose, and a grant to this amount was made
by the General Meeting in April last.
The appropriation of the grant up to date has been as follows : —
The Bishop of Colombo, on behsdf of the Principal of the Bishop's College High
School for Girls ; Mrs. C. Smith, Queen's College, Kandy ; Rev. P. Marks, Church of
England Mission, Buona Vista, Galle; Rev. G. T. Fleming, Chundikoli, Jaffna,
Ceylon ; Rev. B. N. Hodges, Trinity College, Kandy ; Rev. E. F. Miller, St. Thomas's
College, Colombo; Rev. E. M. Griffith, Nellore, Jaffna, North Ceylon; Rev. J. H.
Ballivant» High School, V§pery ; Rev. J. A. Sharrock, Caldwell College, Tuticorin ;
Kev. H. G. Goldsmith, C.M.S. Theological College, Madras ; Rev. F. H. Reichardt,
S.P.G. Theological College, Madras; Rev. W. H. Blake, S.P.G. College, Tanjore ; Rev.
E. Keyworth, C.M.S. Institurion, Palamcotta ; Rev. H. Schaffter, C.M.S. College,
Tinnevelly ; Rev. H. A. Williams, S.P.G. College, Trichinopoly ; Rev. W. G. Peel,
Noble College, Masulipatam ; The Bishop of Rangoon (for distribution among various
institutioDs in the Diocese of Rangoon) ; Rev. H. Robinson, Bishop Cotton's School,
Simla ; Rev. P. S. Smith, Oxford Mission, Calcutta.
The total value of grants thus made was 66Z. 10«. 9d.
Letters of thanks have been received acknowledging the good effects likely to
follow the action of the Conmiittee.
All communications should be addressed to the Bev. Edmund McCIure,
Editorial Secretary, S.P.C.K., Northumberland Avenue.

CHRISTIAN EVIDENCE SOCIETY.
Oloesti uid OoBititatian of tha Booiet;.— The ChriBtian Evidence Societ/, fonnded
about Hiiteen yearaftgo. to meet and repel the incioBainglyaggreMivemfidetitrof tba
times, is cot a distinctively Obucch of England Society, tor it was originated, and
lias been since carried on uid sapported by earnest men of many Christian denomi-

3. Classes for instruction of young people in Christian evidences, followed by
examinations ; suooessf al candidates receive prices and certificates.
4. The publication of books and tracts which deal with the carreot objections oF
Atheists, Pantheists, and Sceptics in a thorough but popular manner.
6. Receiving and giving information on doubts and dlScultiea, and on the

Tracts and handbills distributed at open-air stations alone in 1886, 75,800.
On these oocasions (as also generally in the case of indoor lectures) discussion is
allowed at the close of the lecture. The special mission near the Marble Arch, Hyde
Park, has been singularly useful. Crowds have attended the lectures evening after
evening. The impression is known to have been both widespread and lasting.
Wanderers into bypaths of doubt and infidelity have been arrested, opponents have
been silenced, and not a few have renounced their unbelief.
m. CUsset and Examinations.— The classes in preparation for examination are
certainly not the least valuable or instructive part of the Society's work. The oflfer
of prizes and certificates has done much to encourage the study of works which have
directly strengthened Christian faith. The number of students is unknown ; but on
the last occasion 14.3 were examined, and 15 prizes were awarded.
lY. literature. — ^The publications of the Society liave a large circulation. Much
more, however, might be done in this field, especially in the production of short
tracts, written in a popular style by men of ability, were not the hands of the Com-
mittee tied by the smallness of the income entrusted to their diargc.
y. Centre of InformatioB. — Great benefit arises from the existence of a centre, to
which can go both those who are in doubt and perplexity for themselves or for
those dear to them, and those who, having studied the evidences in the painful
school of earnest inquiry, have found light to beam on their own dark path, and are
anxious to help others still in gloom. Most valuable work is effected by correspon-
dence and interviews; many persons seek the counsel offered by those who are
engaged in this specially responsible part of the Society's operations. The Clergy
often seek and obtain information respecting books on special subjects for their own
study, or for recommendation to inquirers and doubters.
Those wisbing to assist this important branch of Church work bj their
offerings or personal service will receive every information on applying
to the Secretary, who will also gladly suggest, if requested to do so, the
names of Clergy and laymen willing to preach or lecture upon Christian
Evidences. Office, 13 Buckingham Street, Strand.

SECTION IX,— HOME MISSION WORK.
THE WORK OF THE CHURCH AMONG OUR SEAFARING
POPULATIONS, EMIGRANTS, AND SOLDIERS.
The spiritaal care of soldiers, sailors, and emigrants is a subject to which
the Church has given careful and increasing attention.
With regard to the Army, by the kindness of the Ghaplain.Cleneral
we are able to give a summary of the iustrnctions issued to the Chaplains
at the several military dep6ts, from which Churchmen will be able to
gather how thorough are the efforts being made to minister to those who
have such great claims upon the Church's sympathy and labours.
The Chaplain of the Fleet has been good enough to furnish a state-
ment of work carried on throughout the several departments of the Navy,
and by the goodness of others we are able to show what provision is
made for the great seafaring population engaged in trading and fishing.
The enormous increase of population in England has naturally given
rise to continual emigration, and the possession of such important interest
in the colonies must lay upon the Church at home a great responsibility
to contribute by pecuniary support, and personal service, to widen and
build up the Church in these distant lands. One of the most encouraging
records of Church life and progress during the last quarter of a century
or more is found in the growth of the Colonial Church ; what ia specially
needed now is sonic systematic provision for connecting those who leave
our shores, with the ministry of the Church in the country where they
seek their new home.
THE ROYAL NAVY.
Staff of Clergy.— The number of clergy allowed on the Active List of Chaplain!^
in the Fleet is 100, and it only temporarily, for short intervals, falls below its full
strength. The number of males to whom they minister is normally abont 60,00().
besides the families of offiocrs and men belonging to certain of the shore establish-
ments. The estimates for 1886-87 provide for 61,400 officers, seamen (including boys),
and marines ; and for 18,325 naval reserve officers and men during the course of their
drill in H.M. ships.
Beligiooi DeBominations.— The percentages of seamen and marines belonging to
different religious denominations were by the last returns : Church of England, 74*8 ;
Boman Catholics, 107 ; Wesleyans, 7*5 ; Presbyterians, 3*4 ; other Protestants, 2*6 ;
Blbiuddists, &c., 10.
The Offleial Begulationi relating to the work of the Church in the Royal Naty
were given in the Tear- Book for 1884. Some improvements have been sinoe intro-
duced and an increase in the number of hymn-books allowed, especially those for the
^orlfe among gJeamcn— ^ogal ^a^s* '33
use of the choirs. A manual of selections from the Book of Common Prayer for use
on week days on board ships without chaplains has been prepared by the Chaplain of
the Fleet, and approved by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Considerable improve-
ment has been made in the state of the chapels of the Naval Establishments during
the last few years, and in the services, most of the congregations providing themselves
with a surpliced choir.
A link uniting the Naval Clergy with General Church Organisation has been
created by the Admiralty's sanction to their obtaining licence as public preachers or
general authority to officiate in the dioceses where they may be stationed. They may
thus become members of ruri-decanal chapters.
ConflrmatioiLi. — The Bishops of these dioceses have increasing work every year
in the confirmation of candidates prepared by the naval clergy. These candidates
were reported in 1883 as being 1,20G, in 1884 as 1,526, in 1886 as 1,604, and m 1886
as 1,928. This shows an increase of 722 over those presented four years ago,
the total number during the four years being 6,264. Equally great care has b^n
taken in the preparation of candidates, and the increase is owing in a great measure
to the more frequent confirmations, viz., half-yearly in several of the training-ships.
The numbers presented in the different dioceses during the year ending Augpist 31,
1886, were : Canterbury 17, Rochester 101, Winchester 467, Salisbury 160, Exeter 863,
Truro 320 ; total 1,928. In the course of preparation 67 adult baptisms took place.
XltaioBary Ageneiai. — No special and separate branches in connection with
MissioDary Societies, or Temperance and Purity movements, have "been organised in
the Royal Navy as Church work. The aim has rather been to lead those serving in
the Fleet to join local associations of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel,
the Church of England Temperance Society, and the Church of England Purity
Society; many naval officers take an active share in the administration of these
Societiee, and temporary branches are worked on board many ships.
Fall accounts have been given in previous Tear-Books of the two Church
Societies for specially assisting the work of the Church in the Royal Navy, the Naval
Church Society, and the Royal Naval Scripture Readers' Society. Both continue
their work as hitherto with little change.
The IfaTal Chureh Soeiety. — Objects: 'To promote godly living in the Royal
Navy, and to afford means of union and intercourse among members and associates
of the Society.' Hon. Secretary : Rev. F. J. Matthews, H.M.S. * St. Vincent,* Ports-
mouth ; Magazine : * The Church Pennant/ Hon. editor, Rev. C. E. York, Greenwich
Hoepital School. Number of members and associates, 514. At the last annual
meeting the prayers of the S.P.G., C.E.T.S., and C.E.P.S., were inserted in the manual,
and this Society may be considered the naval organisation through which the great
Church Societies can best reach the seamen and marines of the Fleet.
The Eoyal Ifaval Scripture Readers' Society. — Object : to provide Scripture
readers for the Royal Navy and Royal marines, the work being carried on under the
sanction of the officers in command and under the superintendence of the chaplains.
Office : 4 Trafalgar Square. Secretary : Rear-Admiral H. Campion, C.B. Income
for last year, 1,593/.
The most urgent need at present felt is to provide well-regulated lodgings and
rooms for seamen when on shore on leave abroad. The old Sailors' Homes in the
English seaports and Miss Weston's more modem Rests have done much, but there
is a great opening for the Church in aiding similar undertakings in harbours abroad
frequented by men-of-war. During the past year the importance of this in a religious
point of view has been fully recognised, and promising efforts been set on foot in
several xx>rt8.
THE MISSIONS TO SEAMEN.
TwelTO Boadstead Xiaaions. — It was in 1835 that a volunteer clergyman originated
in Penarth Roads, on the coast of Glamorganshire, in the Bristol Channel, the taking
of the Qospel on board wind-bound ships in the outer anchorages at a distance from
the land. Hasardous though this duty is in inclement weather and strong tideways.
It is now faithfully done by the Siissions to Seanien chaplains and readers^ day \^^
134 %^e 'fissions to teamen ^ocieifi.
day, ab all seasons throaghout the year, in the twelve principal roadsteads around
our stormy shores. Five main points are aimed at when on board ship, vis. —
(1) Divine worship and its continuation throaghout the voyage, for which purpose
* Forms of Prayer for use at Sea ' are left on b<Mi,rd ; (2) Sale of the Holy Scriptures
and Book of (Common Prayer; (3) Temperance work; (4) Enrolment as mission
helpers of captains and officers who wish to carry on at sea some work for God ;
(5) Supplying the forecastles with literature for the voyage. In Crork Harbour, for
example, the chaplains have sold on board ship 28,450 Bibles, in twenty-four lan-
guages, and Prayer-books in the last twenty-five years, besides what was given away.
In Falmouth Koads 2,371 ships were visited last year, and 425 services held with
their crews. In Portland Roa<ls 323 total abstaining seamen were enrolled after
worship on board ship. From Penarth Roads 1,355 ships carried to sea bags of reading
or parcels of literature in their forecastles. And so on in other roadsteads.
Ten Misiion Yaehts. — Originally a sailing church-ship was employed to go from
fleet to fleet, on boanl which the better disposed seamen assembled by signal for
worship. But this did not reach all the crew, who consist of bad as well as good
men, of all denominations, heathen as well as Christian, and of many nationalities.
It was subsequently found best for the chaplain to officiate separately to each crew
on board their several ships. The mission yachts for this purpose are smaller than
the original ' Eiren^,' but are good sea-boats able to go out in any weather in which
it would be safe to board a rolling ship. Of the ten mission yachts, two are propelled
by steam. Funds are being raised for a much needed new steam mission vesJsel to
board the ships of many nations in Belfast Lough. The present Archbishop of
Armagh has received 500/. toward this purpose from the late Mr. Conway Dobbs,
formerly an officer in the Royal Navy.
In the course of the year 1885 a new cliaplaincy was established on the Medway,
to minister afloat from Tonbridge to the Nore. The chaplain supplied himself with
a small auxiliary power steamboat for boarding the ships and baiges in the various
reaches of the river. But in heavy weather her steam |x>wer was found insufficient
to drive her against wind and tide, and funds are lieing sought to provide this
chaplaincy with a more powerful vessel. The sailing mission vessels on the Bristol
Channel and in Portland Roa<ls have undergone extensive repairs. Owing to the
absence of a harbour at Deal, the chaplain for the Downs has to be conveyed in an
open boat to the ships sheltering in that anchorage. Besides the mission yachts, a
mission ship and thirty-one boats are employed by the Mission agents.
The Doek Missions. — As the ships enter the inner harbour and docks it is most
important to have special chaplains and readers ready to board the vessels immediately
on their arrival and to minister to them during the brief period of their detention on
shore. On Whit Monday, 1885, the Bishop of Durham opened a new church with a
spacious institute beneath, at South Shields, for the crews on the Tyne. ' Surely,*
said the Bishop, ' if ever a building was needed for the preaching of the Gospel and
the worship of Almighty God, it is needed in cases like this. If Christ's love con-
strain us anywhere it must constrain us here. The spiritual wants of seamen ought
to be our first and foremost care.' Funds are being raised for a similar dual edifice
at Newport, Mon., and at Sunderland. The Mission House at Hull, placed at the
disposal of The Missions to Seamen chaplain and his staff, by Mr. C. H. Wilson,
M.P.t was burnt down in 1885; but that gentleman has since built a much finer
institute for the same purpose. Besides the constant visitation of sailors* boarding-
houses, public-houses, and ships, worshipping facilities exclusively for sailors are
provided at many ports. Notwithstanding the frequent changes in the individual
worshippers as sailors go off to sea, there were upwards of 10,000 attendances of
seamen alone at week-day services at Cardiff last year ; 8,886 at Bristol ; and an
average attendance of 20 to 30 seagoing men, frequently changing, attended the
morning service daily throughout the year at each of the other ports furnished with
a special Seamen's Church, with larger numbers at evening worshij), and full churches
on Sundays.
Though so many sailors were out of work and of wages, they contributed during
the year to the weekly offertory at the Missions to Seamen Churches at Swansea,
143/. ; at Bristol, 118Z. ; on the Tyne, 125/. ; at Cardiff, 92/., and so on*
A new chaplaincy, long urged, was established last year on the Tees, and a misBion
room kindly lent for the crews at Middlesboroug^. An additional readership was
^]^e 'fissions io teamen g^ociefp. 135
foimcled for the Port of Saiiderland, where a chaplain and another reader much need
a better chmch and institnte. The Archbishop of Dublin took a personal part in a
aemrice on the Liffey, and the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol confirmed forty-two
seamen and bojs presented by the Missions to Seamen chaplain at Bristol.
Deep Sea ICiiiioni. — The negation of worship which obtains in too many British
merchant ships is a modem innovation. To restore the ancient cnstom of the sea as
to Sunday if not daily worship also, ought to be a sted&st aim. There are 38,000
British merchant ships, not one of which carries a chaplain. But 661 captains,
of&oers, and seamen act as volunteer helpers on the seas, witnessing a good confession
for God amongst their shipmates, and striving to promote godly living on boaid.
Enoonnged and gnided by the chaplains, the influence of these devout men spreads
the C9mrch*8 teac&ngs over every sea. For example, the chaplain of Bristol Harbour
reports that his staff of volunteer workers on board ship now reaches nearly 100.
Information is continually being received of their good work in all parts of the
world. Upwards of 200 seamen now on the high seas have received the Holy Com-
munion in this one little church before leaving home.
Deep Sea Tisliermen. — ^When absent from their homes a special agency is needed
to minister to Fishermen. English and Manx fishermen are ministered to by the
diaplains on the Irish coast. Scotch fishermen are cared for on the east coast of
England, and the chief fishing stations have long had spiritual provision made for
them. The chajJain for the Humber and the reader at Lowestoft again paid visits to
the Korth S^ fishing fieets. Fourteen smacks of the Lowestoft fishing fieet carry
the Missions to Seamen flag in the North Sea, showing that their skippers and mates
are authorised Church helpers, conducting divine woiship on board for the other
crews, when weather permits, at least on Sundays, under the guidance of the honorary
chaplain at Lowestoft. Margate and Whitstable were reoccupied last year by a
reader to minister to the fishermen and coasters of those places.
X^ Bojal Ifavy. — Chaplains and honorary chaplains conduct daily prayers on
board H.M. drill ships: 'Dosdalus,' at Bristol; 'Durham,' at Sunderland; and
' Castor,* at North Shields. Readers assist the naval chaplains at Portsmouth, Malta,
Lisbon, and Japan, &c. The tone of men-of-war's men towards religion has under-
gone a great change since the fonndation of the Missions to Seamen in 1856. The
annual average ratio of deaths in the ten years 185&-C5 was 15-88 per thousand.
whilst for the ten years 1875-84 it was 9*59. Improved moral habits have combined
witii sanitary reform to this longevit3^
Canal Xen. — Canal men and bargemen on the Thames, the Mersey, the Humber,
the Tjue, the Avon, and the Medway continue to welcome the chaplains and readers
on board their little craft. Those on the Medway have had this year the additional
care of a chimlain appointed to this estuary,
Yoreign Seamen in British Ports. — A large proportion of the crews of British
foreign-going ships are foreigners, and large numbers of foreign ships frequent our
harbours, and require the Church's care, whilst in 104 ports abroad seabosurd clergy
have engaged to look out for British seamen, so far as they can, and to admit them
to their churches. A list of these sailors' friends and Sunday services is pasted into
the books supplied to crews going abroad.
Thrifty Seamen. — The Board of Trade Returns show that in the thirty years inter-
vening between the foundation of the Missions to Seamen in 1856 and now, t^e annual
deposits in the Merchant Seamen's Savings Bank have increased six-fold, to 68,926/. in
1886; and seamen's money orders in the United Kingdom nearly threefold, to
382,831/., and from abroad fivefold since 1866, to 64,882/. ; whilst seamen transmitted
wages home on paying-off to the amount of 186,546/. last year.
Sales of Bibles and Prayer-books. — 34,772 Bibles, in twenty-four languages, and
Prayer-books were sold to seafaring men at thirty-six seaports in the last six years,
besides many thousand Portunu and second-hand copies given away.
Literature on the Seas.— 8,841 ships sailed from port last year with library boxes
or bags of reading in their forecastles, besides 4,363 other vessels with parcels of
literature. In all, about three-quarters of a million of publications were placed on
board shipe, fishing-vessels, and barges last year.
Abetainiag Seamen. — There were 61,681 seagoing men pledged to total absti-
nence from intoxicating drinks by the Missions to Seamen branch of ih« CYkXxtO^
of England Temperance Society during the last seven years. This individaalising
work has separated the men from vicioos companionships, strengthened the brott^r-
hood with the workers, and added largely to the seamen's congregations and to the
commnnicant«.
Emigrant and Passenger Ships. — The chaplains in ports along the south of
England organise services, schools, kc, and plaice books, &c., on board emigrant and
passenger ships bomid to distant colonies, and minister to the passengers on boaxd
just before their departure from our shores.
The Mission Staflf. — The Mission staff now employed consists of 2 ezperienoed
clerical superintendents, who from time to time visit the 60 stations, 24 <^ffpVTr%
41 readers, and 5 paid lay-helpers. Valuable services are also rendered to seamen,
fishermen, and bargemen by those of the 70 honorary chaplains who take part In Uio
work, and by the 661 captains, officers, and seamen, who act as helpers or associates
for the furtherance of the Gospel on board their ships, as well as by large numbers
of local friends, acting under the guidance of the chaplains. The income for 1885
was 23,807/. 6s. 6d., towards which 736 churches kindly contributed offertoriee.
Gommanications should be addressed to Commander W. Dawsoxii R.N.,
Secretary, 11 Backingham Street, Strand, London, W.C.
ST. ANDREW'S WATERSIDE CHURCH MISSION.
The Beport for 1885 shows that the extended work referred to last year had been
satisfactorily and efficiently carried out, and some additional grants had been made
to new stations. The receipts of the year were less than the previons one, when
some large donations and a legacy of 1,0002. had been receiired. The supply of
books was well kept up, and, in addition to several hundreds of libraries supplied
free, large quantities of service books, magazines, kc, had been distribnted on board
ship, and sent to foreign stations. The principle on which the Mission was f6anded
has been strictly adhered to. Grants were made to incumbents of waterside
parishes to provide curates to work among their seafaring parishioners, generally on
the recommendation of the Bishop of the Diocese.
Part of London. — The work was most efficiently carried out in all the dock
parishes, viz. : — London, Millwall, Victoria, Royal Albert, Surrey Oommeroial, and at
Tilbury and Gravesend. Money grants amounting altogether to 8652. were made
to the various incumbents, and in addition 1742. was locally raised, making the
amount expended in the Port of London over 1,0002. The total amoont received in
offertories from the Diocese of London was 207. Eleven clergy visit the ships, and
at the mission-churches at (>ravesend and Tilbury very satisfactory efforts were
made to secure the attendance of the waterside population. Both daily and Sondaj
Kchools have been well attended. About 5002. worth of books were snpplied free
to the various stations.
Home Stations. — llie Liverpool Branch has been steadily making way. The
mission-room is well attended, and the visitation of ships and seamen ashore
carefully attended to. This important branch does not receive the local support to
which it is entitled.
Great Orimthy. — The mission work amongst the North Sea fishermen, which for
many years has been aided by the Mission, showed considerable increase in the
attendance of fishermen at the mission-room. 5,267 visits were made, and 656 bags
of books given to the smacks. The Vicar needs greatly a mission-smack to help vint
the fleet, and an effort is being made to secure one.
Sharpness Docks, Gloucester. — The work at this branch has been steadily carried
on, and the usual grant made to the Vicar.
Hastings. — On the application of the Rector of All Saints, Hastings, recommended
by the Bishop of Chichester, the conmiittee were glad to be able to make a grant
towards the interesting work carried on amongst the fishermen in connection with
this parish.
Brimham. — The Committee contiimed their grant to this most important and
interesting Mission, where the Rev. J. Stallard continues his earnest and sucoeufnl
work amongst the fishermen.
g»f. ^nbvcm^s '^aietsibe 'fission. 137
Dmeonpart, — Grants were made to the Incumbent of St. Mary's and St. Paul's for
work among Uie fishermen.
Foreign Statloni. — Grants of money were made to Port Said, Pemambuco, Corfu,
Aden, Bombay, Hong Kong, Galatz and Sulina, Palermo, Constantinople, Belize, Syra,
Genoa, Dieppe, Odessa, Newfoundland, and Labrador.
P&rt Said, — The Chaplain at this port, the Rev. F. W. Strange, in addition to his
work ashore, has visited the ships passing through the Canal. A money grant of
100^ was made by the Mission, in addition to a large supply of books, magazines, &c.,
which were sent out and distributed by him on board ship. The Church and
Hospital, it is hoped, will be completed by the close of 1886.
Newfoundland, — A grant was made to the Bishop of Newfoundland for the new
Mission in Labrador, of which he reports most favourably. A large quantity of
warm clothing was sent out to various stations and most gratefully received by the
poor fisher-people.
Smigratiim. — In conjunction with the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge
the Mission has paid special attention to this most important work ; ships have been
regularly visited at the ports of departure, service and other books provided, farewell
services held, and in many cases letters of commendation g^ven to emigrants
desiring to be put in communication with the colonial Clergy.
All oommanicaiionB should be addressed to Mr. W. Evan Franks,
Secretary, 65 Fenchurch Street, London, E.G.
THAMES CHURCH MISSION.
Since 1844 the Society has ministered to the spiritual necessities of the vast fluc-
tuating population on the Thames, consisting of seamen, fishermen, bargemen,
steamboat-men, kc. Services are held on board Troop, Emigrant, and Passenger
Ships, Screw and Sailing Colliers, and every description of vessel ; also in Mission
and Beading Rooms in the Docks. Three Clergymen and twenty>two Lay Missionaries
constitute the Missionary staff in the Port of London. The Mission undertakes the
sale of Scriptures to British and Foreign Seamen, and the distribution of religious
literature as circumstances permit. * Sailors' Library Bags,* filled with interesting
and profitable books, are suspended for the use of crews.
The Chaplains hold services on board the * Worcester,* nautical training college
for young men intended for officers in the merchant service ; also (with weekly
classes) on the Training Ships * Arethusa,* 'Chichester,* and * Cornwall.'
The field of labour on the Thames extends from Ptitney Bridge to the Nore Light
Ship.
Smigration. — For the past forty-two years the Thames Church Mission has given
special attention to the spiritual necessities of the many thousands of emigrants
leaving our shores. In former years the cruising church Swan with her consorts was
constantly to be seen anchored in the Gravesend Reach, in order to facilitate the
visitation by the chaplains of large sailing vessels. Emigration by steamship from
the port of London has vastly develop^ during recent years, and numbers of
emigrants are now constantly leaving the river in the steamers of the great ocean
companies. All the ships are visited by the agents of the Thames Church Mission,
fiome of the lay missionaries being allowed to accompany the vessels as far as
Gravesend, distributing portions of the New Testament and tracts, thus opening the
way for the ministrations of the Senior Chaplain, who puts off in his steam launch
and conducts services on board. The importance of this branch of the Society's
work has been widely recognised and encouraged by those who have practical ac-
quaintance with the peculiar needs of emigrants, and of the claims which their
wants have upon the Church.
Svmmary of Work for 1886. — During the year the agents of the Society have
paid S21,140 visits to ships and steamers, 233,136 to fishing vessels and barges, 51,600
to foreign shipping. It has assisted in the distribution of over 94,754 Portioris ot \Yi^
138 ^ovk among g^aiJotrs.
Holy Scriptures in English and foreign languages. It has circulated 1,980 sailors*
library bags. The income of the Society for the year 1885 was 5,936Z. 18#. IcL.

MISSIONS TO DEEP-SEA FISHERMEN.
This work, which was originally carried out by the Thames Church Mission, has
now been constituted a separate organisation.
Five mission vessels are cruising among the North Sea Trawling Fleets, these
having on board twelve thousand smacksmen. It is hoped eventually to place a
mission vessel with every fleet.
Commanications should be made to Mr. E. J. Mather, Director, 181

MERSEY MISSION TO SEAMEN.
Olijeet. — The great object of the Mersey Mission is the moral and spiritual im-
provement of the British merchant seamen who frequent the ports on the Mersey.
Agencies Employed. — In furtherance of this end various agencies are employed,
viz. : 1. Services in the Sailors' Homes, Mission-rooms, and on shipboard. 2. Visita-
tion of the homes, hospitals, ships, and boarding-houses. 3. The circulation of the
Word of God and other profitable reading in the forecastles of ships and steamers,
specially for the seamen's use. 4. Correspondence with seamen in foreign ports,
and the promotion of a due observance of the Sabbath on board ships at sea.
Sta£ — The staff of the Mersey Missions at present consists of — A chaplain,
five lay missionaries (one of whom is engaged in Liverpool, two at Birkenhead, one
at Runcorn, and one at Ellesmere port), and two mission-room keepers.
The cause is also greatly furthered by the kind help of voluntary workers.
Fields of Labour. — Liverpool :— Southern Hospital; Seamen's Institute, Han-
over Street ; South Sailors' Home ; Docks ; Northern Hospital ; Branch Sailors'
Institute, Trent Street ; Bibkenhead : — Docks ; Mission-room, West Float. Out-
forts : — Runcorn, Qarston, Ellesmere Port.
During the year 1885, the aggregate attendance at the services was 69,972.
All oommTmications should be addressed to the Chaplain, the Bev. T.
Patrick, M.A., Hanover Street, Liverpool.
WOMEN'S WORK AMONG SAILORS.
(Miss Weston's.)
Commencement of the Work. — This work is a personal work among seamen of the
Royal Navy, commenced in 1866, embracing Gospel temperance work in all its details
— homes for sailors, savings banks, classes, work among sailor boys, sailors' wives, &c.
Itf Chrowth — the Circulation of Letters and < Blue Backs.' — Commencing with the
writing of a single letter and the circulation of a few dozen printed letters or * Blue
Backs,' it now has grown to the writing of thousands of letters annually, the printing
and circulation of 20,000 ' Blue Backs ' a month, 264,368 a year, on board every ship
of the Royal Navy, every training ship for boys — naval and mercantile— coastguard
stations, lighthouses, United States' Navy, merchant service, &c.
Sailors' Beats. — Three of these institutions are working in England under the im-
mediate superintendence of Miss Weston : Devonport (2), Portsmouth ; thus taking
the whole of the Royal Navy.
Sailon' Beats — ^Trafflo. — Increasing every year, 170,000 seamen and marines
accommodated with beds last year; money taken over the oonnten, 11,821/. in the
year ; each and every place entirely self-supporting.
^migtraiion.
139
■MtlBgf y 4e. — Gospel and temperance meetings, Bible classes, sailor-boys' meet-
logs, Band of Hope for sailors' children, mothers* meetings for sailors' wives, visiting
of sick and necessitous cases. Royal Naval hospital work. Sec, regularly carried on ;
meetings and classes every night.
Temperanoe. — Over 10,000 teetotallers enrolled in the Navy and Coastguard —
one out of every six men in the service, including 2,000 or nearly one-half
of Her Majesty's training service. Branches of Royal Naval Temperance Society
worked on board nearly all Her Majesty's ships. The * Naval Brigade News ' circu-
lated in the service; 209,000 circulated last year, and approved and supplied to
ships' reading-rooms by the Admiralty.
Eoyal Haval Union for Parity of Life. — Numbers over 300 members, and includes
abstinence from swearing and bad language ; only started during the last year.
TifliermexL — Meetings held among tishermcn,and * Blue Backs ' circulated monthly
24,000 a year through the Thames Church Mission and other agencies.
Foreign Work. — Affiliated branches and workers all over the world : Lisbon^
Gibraltar, Malta, Alexandria, Aden, Sm^Tna, Bombay, Cape of Good Hope, Calcutta,
Hong Kong, Tientsin, Shanghai, Chefoo, Yokohama, Nagasaki, Honolulu, Sydney,
New Zealand, Yalpanuso, Halifax, N.S., Bermudas, Madeira, Ireland, &c. In some
ports volunteer workers welcome the men, direct them to respectable lodgings, get
up teas, picnics, &c., combined with Gospel and temperance work. In others Miss
Weston partly supports Sailors' Rests, and desires to see them started everywhere.
Teftunony of the Admiralty and Commanding Oi&eerf is unanimous that the
work as a whole has greatly improved the men of the Navy, and from the fact of its
being a personal work has taken a wonderful hold upon them, and is known and
valneid in every ship and all over the world.
All commnnicatioDs should be addressed to Miss Weston, Sailors'
Rest, Portsmoath.
EMIGRATION.
W£ have described in previons editions of this Book the circa instances
under which the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge was induced
to undertake to provide for the spiritual care of Emigrants leaving the
English shore. For the present, therefore, it will suffice to state what
are the principal objects kept in view in carrying out this work, and what
measure of success appears to have attended it during the past year.
Work. — From a recent report issued by the Emigration Committee, and from the
following figures, it will be seen that during the past year there was a considerable
diminution in the number of emigrants : —

Liverpool. — It will be seen from tlie foregoing Tables that more than half the
Emig^rants start from this port, and it may be stated that scarcely a vessel leaves
without a visit from one of the Chaplains. During last year 570 ships left this port,
carrying 140,243 emigrants. Of this number about 28,030 were cabin, and 112,000
steerage, and 39,700 were other than British subjects. The ships visited by the
Clergy carried about 105,000 out of the 112,000 steerage.
About 311 other ships left Liverpool, carrying a few passengers to the East and
West Indies, and other foreign countries ; but they were not of a class of emigiants
which called for any visiting on the part of the Chaplains. Of the 670 vessels, 473
were visited by the Clergy. Those not visited were chiefly made np of ships oarrying
return cattlemen, or a very small number of steerage passengers. Abont 490 visits
were also made to boarding-houses
In furtherance of the objects which this Committee has in view it is interesting to
state that an increasing number of Emigrants now bring letters of oommendauon
from their parochial Clergy. London. Plymouth, Glasgow, Greenock, and London-
derry, from all these ports we have satisfactory accounts of the attention whldi has
been paid to Emigrants, and there is every reason to believe that good and practical
results have followed.
Foreign Porta. — From Quebec, Winnipeg, New York, Anstralia, and New Zealand*
there is every indication that the Clergy accept their responsibility, and do all they
can to further the efforts which are being made through the Emigration Committee.
Forms of letters of recommendation for intending emig^rante, and copies of the
* Handy Guide to Emignration,' as well as the Society's Handbooks relating to Canada,
New South Wales, South Australia, Cape of Good Hope and Natal, and New Zealand,
may also be obtained at the Society's depositories.
In the Reference Section will be found a list of the Clergy from whom assistance
may be obtained in the home ports and the various Colonies to which EmigTmtion is
mostly directed.
GommnnicatioDs should be addressed to the Hon. Secretary of the
Emigration Committee, Rev. W. Panckridge; or to the Chaplain, the Bey.
J. Bridger, St. Nicholas' Chnrch, Liverpool.
CHURCH EMIGRATION SOCIETY.
This Society carries on its work with the following objects : —
To supply intending Emigrants with full and reliable information, and the
advice of competent and experienced persons who have resided in the different
Colonies.
To arrange for Emigrants' passages in the best ships ; to provide houses of recep-
tion at the ports of emburkation, and, in the case of single women, the care of matrons
during the voyage.
To assist deserving emigrants by grants toward their passages and outfit, or by
advances by way of loan, on the approved security of their friends in England.
To aid in establishing emigration clubs where desired, and to disseminate infor-
mation by the delivery of lectures on the Colonies.
To organise ladies' associations for making clothing for women and children for
gratuitous distribution to deserving cases.
To advocate and promote the settling of Emigrants in villages.
To undertake the placing of gentlemen's sons as pupils with Iruitworthy an^
respectable fanners in the Colonies, or the United States if desired.
%^e @^utrcl^ and ti^c Jlrm^. 141
Aboat 200 Clergy in the various Colonies are associated with the Committee.
Brandies of the Society have been formed at Toronto, St. John's, New Brunswick,
and Montreal, and official recognition has been given by the Dominion Government.
Commimicatioiis should be addressed to the Hon. Secretary, Mr. W.
H. Ck)Oper, 9 Victoria Chambers^ Westminster.
THE CHURCH IN THE ARMY.
As it is not generally understood to what extent the Church of England
is watchful over the spiritual interests of soldiera, we give in detail the
following instructions issued by the Ghaplain-Gbneral, with further infor-
mation as to the work which is accomplished.
With a view of increasing; the efRcicncy and iisefuhicss of the servicer of Chaplains, and
in order to avert the possibility of misundenitandinfi^.S the following; orders and recommenda-
tloos [baned upon an addre^ to Chaplains by the Chaplain-drcncral] are issued : —
1. Chaphdas most wear a surplice, cassock, and stole at all their administrations.
(imduatea may add the hood of their academical degree. The surplice is provided from
public funds.
2. Parade services are to be held by Chaplains at such time and place as the Creneral
OIBeer Coromanding shall direct. These services sliould be simple and short. The Prayers
and Lessons should be said and read distinctly and reverentlv. The Psalms should not be
chanted, except on special occasions. The Responses and Canticle.<( should be sung. Chaplains
should select suitable hymns, and give every encouragement to the regimental bands, so that
themusietl part of the service may be devoutly and carefnllv rendered. The service should
lie distinctly Congregational, hence all elaborate music in which the men cannot join should
be disccuraged. No voluntary choir is to take the place of the bund of the regiment
attending the service without the special permission of the Chaplain-General and the Oflicer
CommaMing.
8. Parade services may onsist of any single service for public worship in the Book o(
Common Prayer, or of the Holy Commuuiou preceded by the Litany or Morning Prayer. A
serin<m should invariably form'part of sucli service. The whole service should not, as a rule,
last longer than an hour. It may, however, be found necessary for the principal service, at
1 1 or 11.30 a.ra., to be a little longer.
All services in the open air, or wherever the men have to stand, should be much shorter.
4. Where two or more parade services are held in the same garrison. Chaplains may avail
themselves oi the liberty- mven by the Amended Act of Uniformity, and at the earlier hour
use any simple form of Mis.'«ion Service, with hymns and address. As the men that are
marchckl generally form the whole of the ''ongTegatiou, such services afford the most fitting
opportunities for plain speaking on the special sins to which men are tem:)ted.
The service pn>posed to be used should be lirst submitted to the Chaplain-General.
5. Everj* Chaplain in charge of a church or chapel school nnut hold a wrvire on Sundoy
evenings for the Sfiecial benefit of ofilcors and soldiers, their families and friends, and of anV
«»lher persons who ma^ be willing to attend At these voluntary s<Tvices the restrictions laid
down for parade services are not binding. Chaplains can use the liberty the Church of Ii)ng-
land gives them in carrying out such work, but they should be careful not to adopt anv
rustocn of doubtful legality, or which is likely to offend the really earnest worshippers in the
congregation. Should any difiiculty arise*, reference should at once be made to the Chaplain-
General.
6. A short service with an address should be held at least once in each week. Daily
prayers should be said at some convenient hour in all consecrate<l churches. In large garrisons
<Hjciie one building may be selected for this purpose, and each Chaplain in turn be hehl
rvsponsible ft»r its due performance. Kven in unconsecrated building Cha])lains should
«*ndeavour to introduce informal meetings daily for prayer, reading the Wonl of God, and
simple addresses or hymn singing. This should invariably be attempted during the season
of Lent.
7. The Holy Communion should be celebrated, if possible, on every Sunday and Holy Day.
Chaplains are strongly recommended, where practicable, to have such'celebrations at a uniform
early hour, and once a month to have an additional celebration after the parade service. Care
should be taken Uiat on the great Festivals fitting opportunities arc afforded for all to com-
municate who may wish to do so. Chaplains will consult with Ofiicers Commanding, so that
the greatest possible liberty' may be granted to all soldiers wishing to attend these services.
8. No Chaplain is at liberty to give up any service lie tind^ institute<l by his predecessor.
142 ^t)e ^l^ttircl^ anb i^e Jlrmtt.
Chaplains should always endeavour to make their work cootinuoas. Before an^ aenrioe is
di:>continued the renrans for wishing to do so most be oommanicated in wnMng to the
Chaplain-General, and his sanction obtained.
9. Chaplains will vi^it the nek in hospital at least twice in every week, and in some
room arranged for the purpose they will hold ever\' Sunday a short service for the ooovales-
cents. They should visit much more frequently all those that are dangerously iU. Chaplains
should also' visit the sick in quarters, and the married soldiers* families as tibe parochial
Clergy visit their parishioners.
lo'. Chaplains must give religious instruction to the children of their own Communion
twice in each week, on the days and at the hours appointed by the General Officer Com-
manding. They will take as the basis of such instruction the Holy Scriptures, Uie Church
Catechiiro, and'the Book of Common l^ayer. On Sundays the children should be assemUed
for a like purpose, and Chaplains should endeavour to obtain the help of members of their
congregation as teachers. It is very desirable that there should be a Children's Service with
public catechising once in each month.
11. Chaplains arc rccommondod to utilise lay help in reading the I^essons, singing in the
choir, teaching in the Sunday sc1un>1, visiting the aU'.k, and in any other way suggested in
the Chaplain-Generars Address, and approved by him. When extra iMirade services have to
be taken. Chaplains should be able to take them by handing over tneir ho^ital service to
some recognised voluntary lay Iieluer, for that particular Sunday.
Chaplains must forward a full and accurate report of the work of the Charch in their
garrison every year, and on the removal of a regiment invariably send a list of communicants,
lay-helpers, Sunday-school teachers, &c., to the Chaplain in charge of the station to which
they are moved.
CHUBCH WORK.
ALBEBSHOT. — In the important Camp of Aldershot, where from 8,000 to 10,000 men are
stationed, there are three military churches, which accommodate more than 8,000 men. Two
parade services are held in each every Sunday morning, and in the summer additional ont-door
services are held for regiments encamped there, principally militia and volunteers. On the
8th of August, when more than 5,000 volunteers were present, seven services were performed
in the open air and seven in the three cliurches. Voluntary services are held every Sunday
evening, at which about 1,000 persons attend. In two of the churches the Holy Communion
is celebrated every Suuday and Holy Day at 8 a.m., and in one there is daily prayer. The
number of communicants on Easter Dav at the three churches was about 800, all military.
There are four Sunday schools, attendeci by about 4o0 children. The amount collected for
charitable and religious objects of a public character, and for the Church Service Funds, uras
about 850/. The number of sick is 500, and the hospitals are regularly visited by the Chap-
lains. 463 children were baptized, and the candidates for confirmation, some of whom were
soldiers, were 50 in 1885.
The Church of England Soldiers' Institute, supported entirely by voluntary contribntions,
offers to the men of all ranks, when they leave the camp and barracks, the a'dvantages of a
home or club. Concerts, lectures, and various entertainments are regularly given, and there
is a room set apart for the Chaplains to meet any soldier who may wish to see them. This
Institute is open and free to every man who wears the Queen's uniform, and no question as to
religion is asked. Alcoholic drinks arc not allowed, but wholesome refreshments of various
kinds may be had at a small cost, and there are rooms in which smoking is permitted. The
Army Division of the Church of England Temperance Society meets here and pursues its
work' with varied success. Additional room is urgently needed, and it is proposed to build
a la^'ge Gordon Memorial Hall, when the funds will permit The Chairman of the Committee,
which is composed of Chaplains and otiicers and non-commissioned officers, is General Sir
Thomas McMahoh, Bart. ; the Warden is Canon Beach, Senior Chaplain in the Division ; and
Lieut-Cobnel Walker, late R.A., with whom the idea originated, and who fteely gives his
time to the Institute, is the Hon. Sec.

The Pariflh Churches Bill.— This Bill, promoted by the Association, has been fre-
quently before the House of Commons since the year 1870, and in March 1883 it
passed the Second Reading, after receiving the support of Sir W. Vernon Haroourt,
Mr. J. G. Talbot, Sir Edmund Lechmerc, Mr. Albert Grey, Mr. F. W. Buxton, and
others on both sides of the House. It was introduced in January last into the House
of Lords by the Bishop of P£TEBBOBOUOH, and passed the Second Reading in March,
and was referred to a Select Committee, who circulated an important list of thirteen
questions to every parish in England, and presented a Report in June containing tabular
statements from 1,849 parishes out of 12,017 returns received.*
In support of the Second Heading 327 petitions were arranged for and presented.
The Second Heading of the Bill in the House of Lords has resulted in thediscussion
of its provisions at the C*}iurch Congress at Wakefield, at several Diocesan Conferences,
and at numbers of Ruridecanal and other Meetings of the Clergy and Laity through-
out the country ; so that, whatever difference of opinion there may be among Chair-
men as to the desirability of calling in the aid of the Legislature to re-declare the
ancient Common Law right of the people to free worship in the churches of the land,
it is clear that the introduction of the Bill has brought the need of reform in this
respect before the public in 'a way which could scarcely otherwise have been done.
The Association has brought to a successful issue, after litigation lasting eighteen
months, the defence of three parishioners of Bucknall, Staffordshire, who were
served with writs by a parishioner for trespassing on his pew when the church was
overcrowded at a Harvest Festival and the pew nearly empty. Mr. Justice
Grantham, in concluding his judgment upon the case (and giving costs on the
higher scale to the defendants), said, * He was glad that after a thorough investiga-
tion he was able to come to the conclusion that no right had been d^own for the
taking possession for so many years of so large a space in the parish church.*
The Association also assisted in the case of Longdon Church, Staffordshire,
where new open seats having been substituted under faculty for the old pews, and
a notice put up declaring them * free to the parishioners for ever,* one of the church-
wardens attempted to ^lot them, and on the other churchwarden refusing to join
him in doing so, he applied to the Chancellor of Lichfield to appoint a commission
for the purpose. This the Chancellor (on June 9) declined to do, and an appeal
was made to the Arches Court ; but an appearance being entered on the other
churchwarden's behalf, the appeal was shortly afterwards withdrawn, and on
application to the Court on December 7, Lord Penzance condemned the appellant in
the costs of the suit.
The Association has also undertaken to appeal to the Queen's Bench Division of
the High Court on behalf of a farm lad who was fined by the Sleaford magistrates in
July for attempting to take a vacant scat other than that to which he was ordered
by one of the Churchwardens of Ancaster Church, near Grantham, there being a notice
up announcing that the church was free, and inviting worshippers to take vacant
seats. The Council having considered all the circumstances felt that the case was a
very hard one, and that it was exceedingly important to obtain a decision as to
whether mere disobedience to a churchwarden in declining to sit where directed by
him, unaccompanied by any other violence or disobedience, could possibly be con-
strued into * violent behaviour ' under the Brawling Act.

SECTION XL— HOME MISSION WORK.
TEMPERANCE AND RESCUE WORK.
Lr estimaiing the progress and yalne of the work of the Charoh of Eng-
land in the part which she is taking in the cmsade against the evils of
intemperance, it should be borne in mind that the methods being used are
pei^ps of a less demonstrative character than other agencies. The
inflnenoe exerted by Parochial Temperance Societies is of a steady and
solid character, ana there can be no doubt that the work so wrought is
exerting a force in the suppression of this national sin by a gnidual
process of education, rather than by efforts the results of which can be
immediately tabulated. Though it is not the function of this book to
make special appeals for pecuniary assistance, it may yet be as well to
point out here, iiiat this work is r^dly seriously crippled for want of that
substantial help, which woxdd be given if a deeper sense of responsibility
possessed the minds of Churchmen with regaid to the checking of this
great evil
A kindred work is being actively carried on with a view to restrain
the progress and deadly influences of a great social evil which is a stain
upon the national life. The Council of the Church of England Parity
Society has been steadily following up its work, a short summary of
which will be found in this section.
CHURCH OF ENGLAND TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.
The work of this Society is so well known that it is no longer needful to describe its
operations at any length. A few facts will suffice to prove its vitality and to illus-
tiate the variety and success of its work.
Lsgiilation. — Steps will again be taken to introduce the Society's Licensing
Beform Bill, which aims at a reduction of the number of drinking premises, and more
efficient control. Also a Bill to amend the Grocers' and Shopkeepers* Licensing Act.
Literature. — The circulation of TIt£ Chronicle and The Young Standard Bearer
continues to prove a popular and serviceable means of promoting temperance work
among Uie masses. The latter has now been enlarged.
JuTenile Union. — An oxganising secretary has been appointed to carry on this work.
A plan has been matured by which teachers in schools of all grades, and temperance
workers amongst the yoimg, may become associates of the Union, and over 100 have
been already enrolled. Conferences of Sunday-school teachers have been held in
various parts of London.
Women's Union. — ThL** has steadily progressed; 13 branches have been added
to the Central Union; 73 are now affiliated, and 17 to Diocesan centres, making a
total of 90 branches. Over 116 meetings have been attended by Lady-deputations
of the Society. The members of the Union greatly assisted the London Mission.
Police Court Work. — This has been successfully carried on at Marylebone, Clerken-
well, and Bow Street. Missionaries are employed in similar work in the Dioceses of
Bochester, Lichfield, Liverpool, Peterborough, Worcester, Manchester, and Bristol.
Bailway Work. — This is advancing. There is a considerable number of members ;
more than 10,000 having joined the United Kingdom Temperance Union.
Agrienltnral Work. — Conferences have been held in different parts of the
country, to which the farmers and labourers have been invited. A large amount of
literature has been circulated. The results have been encouraging, and in many
qnarten a very direct influence for good has been exerted.
146 ^^urc^ of ^ng(an6 temperance $ociei||.
Army Work. — A movement was set on foot last year under the presidencj of the
Chaplain-Gkneral, and with the active co-operation of many of the chaplains and
conmianding officers, to give encouragement to wider efforts to promote Church Tem-
perance Work in the Army. It is intended to appoint missionaries to work in the
principal army depdts as funds and circumstances permit. An agent has been
appointed for work in India.
Cabmen and 'Bnsmen. — For many years the Society has laboured among this class;
but on the 9th of December last a distinct organisation was formed to deal separately
with this branch of the Society's work ; branches have been formed in four centres in
the metropolis, and a permanent agent appointed to the work.
The Colonies. — There are indications of very considerable growth in the Temper-
ance movement, especially in connection with the C.E.T.S.
Connter-attractions. — The general work of this Society is being very greatly
advanced by an increase of coffee taverns, workmen's clubs, and reading rooms.
There are now 1,244 qoffee taverns known to exist throughout the country.
Diocesan Work. — In almost every Diocese there is an organised machinery for
promoting in various ways the work of this Society. There is at present a total of
733,150 members of branches.
Income 18S6.— This reached the sum of 5,494^ lis. 9r/.
GommanicationB should be addressed to the Kev. G. Howard Wright,
Clerical Superintendent, 0 Bridge Street, Westminster.
CHURCH OF ENGLAND PURITY SOCIETY.
Objooti. — To promote->l. Purity among men. 2. A chivalrous respect for woman-
hood. 3. Preservation of the young from contamination. 4. Bescue work. 5. A
higher tone of public opinion.
The Society insists on the equal obligation of purity on both sexes.
Kembership of the Central Society is confined to men of eighteen years of age,
who undertake to promote the above objects and to subscribe annually to the Society
(as a minimum) &i, ; but local bodies are free to adopt their own rules.
Diocesan Branches. — Seventeen have been formed — viz. in Bath and Wells,
Chichester, Durham, Exeter, Lincoln, Liverpool, Llandaff, Manchester, Newcastle,
Norwich, St. Albans, St. Asaph, St. David's, Salisbury, Truro, Winchester, and
Jamaica ; and others are in course of formation. They superintend the movement
within their limits, and assist in the formation and control of Parochial Associa-
tiofu and Affiliated Irutitutiont in the Universities, Army and Navy, Slg,
The Central Society endeavours to support the movement generally by the aid of
literature, preachers, and speakers, by co-operation with other Societies, by bringing
its influence to bear upon various classes of society and upon the Legislature, with a
view to a higher tone of public opinion and conduct in the relation of the sexes, and
to the better observance of moral laws, divine and human.
Meetings have been hpld in all parts of England. Diocesan Conferences have
earnestly considered the moral condition of the towns and rural districts, and the
agencies that can be brought to bear. Services for men only have been held in many
churches, and stirring appeals to manhood have been made then and at other times.
Parochial Societies have been formed, and the influence of well-disposed bodies of
men enlisted in the cause of purity of life.
The White Cross publications and meetings have helped to leaven not only
Church people, but great miscellaneous bodies of men whoso better nature might
have lain dormant under the rfgivie of silence, but who have now been awakened to
the necessity of helping to stamp out terrible social evils.
Gommnnications should be addressed to the Secretary of the Church
of England Purity Society, 111 Palace Chambora, 9 Bridge Street, West*
minster, S.W.

REFORMATORY AND REFUGE WORK.
Ths following tabulated records will serve to show what part the Church
of En^and k taking in promoting this needful branch of philanthropic
work. The importsmce of checking evil habits in their early growth can
Bcarcelj be exaggerated, and this department of practical Mission work not
only lays claim to the Church's care and support, bat presents a field of
labour to all who desire to restrain the habits of vice and indolence which
are so early formed among a large proportion of oar English youth.
With regard to efforts made Uy reclaim penitents the short reports
which follow will show that the subjiect has the thoughtful attention of
the Church. The extent to which this evil exists is alarmine indeed, and
nothing but a yigorons and watchful effort to check its increase will
avail. This subject came under the consideration of the Canterbury
Convocation in Febmary 1885, when the following resolutions were
passed: —
* 1. That it is desirable to invite Diocesan Conferences to use their influence for
the maintenance and restoration of female parity by encouraging the institution of
Industrial Homes for neglected girls, of Penitentiaries for fallen women, and of other
similar agencies.
' 2. That it is desirable to form associations of men united for the purpose of
maintaining a high tone of purity in themselves and others.
' 3. That the above resolutions be taken to the Upper House with the request that
their lordships would bring the matters referred to in the Resolutions before their
dioceses in such manner as to them may seem best.
* 4. That their lordships of the Upper House be respectfully requested to urge in
their places in Parliament the importance of making the law for the protection of
women stringent and more penal.
* 6. That their lordships of the Upper House be respectfully requested to urge
the importance of some measure for improving the habitations of the people.'
BEPOBXATOBT AVD BEPITQE VVIOK.
The Union was instituted in 1856, and though not strictly confined in its operations to the
Church of England, has yet very considerably assisted man}' institutions carried on under
the direction of Churchmen. There are now 690 institutions affiliated with the UnioD. . .
MtthofU of Orgam$aiion, — ^The Union endeavours generallv to assist Reformatory work by
holding oon^rences, collecting information, tabulating xesults, forming new soaaties, and
directing Parliamentary action. It makes gnmts to Refuges, Homes, and Industrial Schools ;
it assists the missionary work of reclaiming the fallen by the agency of Christian women,
walking the streets in search of the lost. With many other similar objects in view the Union
aims at reclaiming and elevating the neglected criminal class by educating them in the fear
of God and in the knowledge of the Holv Scriptures.
CkUdntCi Aid and Refuge Fund. — ^This Fund (which is in connection with the Reformatory
and Refuge Union) has for nearly eighteen years employed the Boys* Beadle, and during that
period he has aided 4,507 children who were in destitute or neglected circumstances, or other-
wise reouiring a friendly hand to prevent them drifting into a criminal career. The Shoe-
blacks' Beadle has aided 2,332 boys since he was first employed. In May, 1883, the Council
sp{>otnted three Rescue Officers, who have since taken 494 children out of the horrible dens in
which they were living, and had them placed under legal protection and training in industrial
and voluntary schools, to so remain until they shall be sixteen years of age.

THE CHURCH PENITENTIARY ASSOCIATION.
Thb Church PeDitentUiy Association has for thirty-five yean helped in the foandatloii
and maintenance of Houses ol Ueroy and Belnges throughout toe kingdom. Fortj-
seven Bishops and two Archbiehopa preside over tbe Council ol the Aseodation.
Each of tho HomcA baa a Clergyman of the Chnrch of England as Cha()U)n. , All
the Houses ol Hercy to which grants nre made by tbe Association are mansiged by
sel[-devol«d womeo, though tbe temporaiy Befuges have, in some cases, paid
Uatrons. The average proportion of Sisters to penitents is as one to five or six. The
time spent by penitents in tite Homes of Mercy varies from six months to three j^ears of
more, the usaal time being two years.
Two new Houses were admitted into union daring the past year, one at Plymouth
and the other at Windsor.
The number of tlie Associated Houses is now 63, in nhicli 195 self 'devoted women
give their loving Bervioe, Thirty -three are Houses of Mercy and 23 are Refuges. The
average number of peiiitents at one time hss been in the former 60, and 996 in tiie
latter. The groaa number who have left tbe I'enitantinrics has been 760, of whom 60
were transferred to other houses in union; 1,111 have left the fiefugcs. of wliom
291 were similarly ttansferred. After deducting the transferred cases 1,560 remain,
and of these 814, cr 51 per cent., were favocrable eases ; 211, or 16 per cent., were
nntavouTable cases ; 162, or 28 percent., were doubtful oases. The small number of
unfavourable casea is a point deserving of notice.
Tbe following table gives the sstimate formed by the managers of the Houses of
Heroy coDoeming those who left in 18S5. It appears that penitents leaving after—

It has been held that no woman who has led a life of sin for a lengthened period
can ever afterwards be trusted to walk alone. The experience, however, of those
who direct this great work in this country is different, as may be shown by the fact
that more than 40 per cent, of all those who have left the various houses during the
past year are believed to be doing well in service.
Each of the institutions in union with the Church Penitentiary Association has
funds of its own; but the Association is the handmaid of all, and apportions
moneys entrusted to it among the houses in union that apply for aid. *
This Association supplies a bond of union connecting many who are engi^;ed iii
penitentiary work in various parts of the world. In many other ways its influence
is felt indirectly. And in its more special work it exercises an influence upon our
national character, limited indeed, but real and widening.
The amount granted to the several Houses during the past year has been 1,0692L
The income for &e same period was 1,135/.
All oommmiications should be addressed to the Secretary, Ghnrch
Penitentiary Association, 14 York Buildings, Adelpbi, W.C.
CHURCH MISSION TO THE FALLEN.
Olgeeti of the Xisiion. — ^The Church Mission to the Fallen was founded in 1880 for the
poipoee of cairyiog on direct missionary work amongst the fallitn and unchaste, and com*
Mtm^ vice in its own Btrongholds. It carries out its work (a") by the employment of women
M musiooaries to sedc out faUen women in their own homes, m hospitals, in workhouses, and
in pnblic streets, by holding Mission .Services in churches and schools, united Intercession, and
by eflfoits of a preventive nature.
It does not propose to establish Refuges or Penitentiaries, but to confine itself to direct
missionary work.
The band of voluntarjr workers has been considerably increased, more Mission Services have
been held, two paid Mission workers are now employed, the work amongst men has been con-
tinned, and the Interoeasion Services have been better attended.
Mission services have been held during the East and West London Missions and since.
In some cases immediate results have followed, and in aU many have been rescued by visits
to their lodgings, and work carried on after the Mission.
Donations and subacriptions are earnestly requested for the heavy expenses of the Mission,
All commnnications should be made to J. B. Biddell, Esq., Hon. Sec.,
14 York Buildings, Adelphi, W.C.
FEMALE MISSION TO THE FALLEN AND FEMALE
AID SOCIETY.
This is a * Woman's Mission to Women,' and was established in 1858, under the presidency of
the Earl of Shaftesburv. It sends earnest Christian women into the streets, toe hospitals,
and the workhouses, seeking to converse with, and rescue the fallen of their own sex.
There are 10 Mission- houses ; and 24 agents are working in different parts of London.
There are usually upwards of 50 young women under the temporary care of the missionaries.
They are sheltered for a few days until a more permanent home can be secured. In the case
of young women found in dangerous circumstances but not yet fallen, a home is provided when
possible in the service of Christian mistresses. The missionaries have placed G,021 in service
during the last 27 vears ; 5,996 have been placed in institutions for training ; 1,641 have been
restored to their fViends ; 73 have been assisted to marry ; 61 have been emigrated. Manj
others have been placed in hospitals, or otherwise temporarily assisted.
Particalars of the work of this Mission may bo obtained of the Seore«
tary, Mr. Arthur J. S. Maddison, 32 Charing Cross, London, S.W.

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND CENTRAL SOCIETY FOR
PROVIDING HOMES FOR WAIFS AND STRAYS.
The object of this Society is to enable Churchmen to co-opeiate in rescning from
TiciooB Borroandlngs destitute children, espeoially in laige towns ; 17 homes have been
established, and in them this year were 116 boys and 285 girls. The committee have
placed in other homes 64 boys and 34 girls, and besides these they have boarded out in
country homes, under pn^r supervision, 90 boys and 69 girls, making a total of -647.
The general receipts amounted in 1886 to 7,656Z. 16«. 2d. and for special funds for
new homes to 8,276/. Ss. bd^
Forms of application may be had from the Hon. Secretary, E. de M.
Radolf , Esq., 32 Charing Gross, S. W., to whom all communications should
be made.
8T. ANDREW'S HOME AND CLUB FOR WORKING BOYS.
This Institution has been successfully carried on in Dean Street, Soho, for some
years past. Its object is to provide a comfortable dwelling for boys employed in
London who may be friendless, or whose friends live at a distance from the locality
of their employment. The present institution provides for forty-five inmates,
who oontribute at least 6«. per week towards their maintenance, receiving such sub-
sidiary assistance as the institution can afford.
An evening club is provided, of which there are more than 160 members. A
body of gentlemen systematically give their time in seeking the moral and spiritual
welfare of the members of this <dub. Classes for instruction are arranged for those
who wish to improve themselves in reading, writing, drawing, short-hand, and other
useful branches of education. There is also a ffymnanum, and instruction is given on
three nights a week in gymnastics, fencing, and boxing. A suitable building has been
erected at Westminster, where the Home is now located, and it is an encouraging
witness to the good influence of this institution, that the boys themselves have
made generous efforts to contribute towards the cost of the new premises.
Communications should be made to Mr. G. T. Biddulph^ 43 Charing
Cross, S.W.
HOMES FOR WORKING GIRLS IN LONDON.
This Institution was founded in 1878, for the purpose of providing a dwelling for
girls and young women employed in the factories and workshops of London and its
suburban districts. By patient labour it has developed its efforts, which have resulted
at present in the possession of eight houses in different parts of the metropolis,
providing accommodation for 416 young women.
These Homes have become channels of imparting great temporal comfort, and of
exerting many kindly Christian influences upon those who would otherwise have
been left comparatively lone and friendless in the great city. Each Home is fur-
nished with books and periodicals, classes are held, and in many ways efforts are
being made to oompass the moral and spiritual well-being of those who become
inmatas. Some idea of the good work which is being done may be gathered from
the fact that since the commencement of the Homes no less than 7,000 yoimg work-
women have been received into the several Homes.
Communications should be made to Mr. John Shrimpton, 38 Lincoln's
Inn Fields, W.C.

SISTERHOODS AND ORPHANAGES.

aotiFely carrying on. We have endeavoured to supply some record of
the provision made for the sheltering and training 01 orphans ; the list
as it appears is accurate, but can hardly be said to be complete, as it in-
volves considerable labour and intricate inquiry to obtain the requisite
information, so as to be able to distinguish those institutions which are
conducted upon the principles of the Church of England.

SECTION XIIL—EOME MISSION WORK.
DEACONESSES' AND NURSING INSTITUTIONS.
In previous volumes we have dealt more completely than we now liave
space to do, with the position and vocation of Deaconesses in regard to
the general work of the Church. It is unnecessary, therefore, to do more
than famish the following records by which we are enabled to form some
opinion of the extent to which this agency is now employed.
The work of nursing the sick continues to claim attention as an essential
part of the Church's ministry to the suffering. It is, of course, qaite
impossible fully to represent the extent to which this practical work of
mercy is being carried on. A considerable number of parishes have
parochial nurses of their own, whilst at the same time it will be seen from
the tabular statements which follow, that efforts are being made to or-
ganise narsing institutions for a wider area.

Description
Thb Church Deaconesses* Home at Maidstone was founded 11
years since upon the principles adopted by the Archbishops and
Bishops in 1872. Deaconesses are trained in parochial work,
nursing, &c.,and are finally set apart by the Archbishop. There
is a branch home at Walsall.
Address to the Superintending Deaconess, The Home,
Maidstone.
The London Diocesan Deaconesses' Institution, founded 1861, to
train educated women for Churoh work, who are finally set apart
by the Bishop. Some, after two years* training, are admitted
to a community without yows, some after one year become un-
attached Deaconesses. The work consists of nursing, and of
visiting the poor. There are fifteen members of the community,
and ten unattached. Applicants must be communicants, over
twenty-one, and obtain the consent of their guardians.
Address, The Head Sister, 12 Tavistock Crescent, West-
boame Park, W.
The East London Diocesan Deaconesses* Home was opened in
1880, to provide Deaconesses and Church workers for East
London. It is managed by the * East London Church Fund.'
Fourteen Deaconesses and twcnty>eight Associates are now
working in connection with this Home. There are also nine
Probationers for the Deaconess office, seven of these having
been admitted in 1886. There are three Branch Homes, and a
Convalescent Home at Malvern. The work is carried on by
payments of Sisters and Associates, subsidised by subscriptions
and grants from the * East London Church Fund.* The work
requires greater support from its friends, to prevent the rejection
of suitable workers through want of funds.

The Diocesan Deaconesses* Home was moved from Famham in the
summer of 1884 to Portsmouth, where the need of mission work
was most argent. The Sisters are employed in nursing the
sick, visiting the poor, teaching in and superintending Sunday
schools, holding Bible classes and mothers* meetings, and in
all such parish work as is within the province of women.
Training is also given in penitentiary and outdoor rescue work.
The Sisters are working in Mission Houses at Southampton,
Aldershob, and Famham. The Diocesan House of Mercy at
Chester is placed under the care of one of the Winchester
Deaconesses ; two are also engaged in mission work in Kaffraria.
St. Andrew*s Home, for the rescue of neglected children, receiving
over fifty little girls too young for admission to other
Houses of Mercy, is worked in connection with the Deaconesses*
Home.
All informatioii can be obtained from Canon Darst,
Alverstoke Bectory, Hants; or Sister Emma, Dea-
conesses' Home, Portsmontb.
Tub Institution has a twofold purpose in hand — * Mission work *
and ' Nursing work * — providing nurses for those who can pay
for their attendance and the free nursing of the poor. The dis-
trict nursing has been considerably extended ; there are five
district nurses visiting in ten parishes. Three ladies are being
trained as workers.
Communications sbonld be made to tbe Yen. Arcbdeacon
of Chester.
The Ely Diocesan Deaconesses* Institution was established in the
year 1869, to afford opportunities to faithful women of dedi-
cating themselves to the special service of Qod in the work of
the Church. Those employed act immediately under episcopal
sanction and the control of the Clergy of the respective parishes
within which their work is undertaken. There are at present four
Deaconesses. There are also thirty-three associates, who in
various ways render help to the Institution, and an associate
nurse. The work undertaken by the Deaconesses at Bedford
includes the care of the sick and of schools. There is also an
Orphanage attached to the Home.
Address, Tbe Head Sister, Deaconesses' Home, Brombam
Road, Bedford.
Boehdale Deaconesses' House. — This House has been opened to
receive and train educated gentlewomen who wish to be pre-
pared for the office of Deaconess, or to gain experience in
parochial mission work.
The training extends over two years. It is twofold: (1) the
devotional life ; (2) practical work.
When the time of training has expired, if the probationer desire
to be, and is found duly qualified, she is set apart as a Deaconess
by the Bishop with the laying on of hands, and he then gives
her a commission to work in the Church.
Women so set apart work either singly or in association.

Dciicriptiou
The Diocesan Deaconesses' Institution at Salisbury exists to give
practical training with religious instruction to women who desire
to devote themselves to nursing the sick, teaching, and visiting
the poor. Every candidate for the office of a Deaconess must
reside in the Home on trial for three montlis, and if approve<l as
a Probationer, receives practical training in her duties, and is
afterwards a<^nitted to the office of Deaconess by laying on of
hands by the Bishop. The Deaconesses are boimd by no vows,
and are at liberty to resign their commission, or they may be dc-
prived of it by the Bishop of the Diocese.
The Head Deaconess at Salisbury, besides the general charge of
the Institution, has under her care and direction, and under tlic
same roof, an institution for training girls for domestic service.
One Deaconess is in charge of the Home for Friendless Girls
in Salisbury.
The number of Associates is 13.
Four ladies have been received at the Home for training at the
Salisbury Infirmary in nnrsing, bat not with the intention of
becoming Deaconesses, and two others are employed in Parochial
work in St. Edmund's and St. Thomas's parishes in the same
city. Two Deaconesses are at work at Calne in this Diocese, and
at Newcastle-on-Tyne. Another has just completed an eight
months* engagement at Kippaz In Yorkshire, and one Deaconess
is at work in the United States.

Vicarage, Salisbury.
MILDMAY DEACONESSES.
The Deaconesses* Institution, Mildmay Park, comprises three main branches— a Dea-
coness house, a nursing house, and a training house for home and foreign mission
work.
Deaconess House. — The average number of Deaconesses is 120, mostly resident at
Mildmay, the remainder living at branch houses in distant parts of London, &c. In
twenty-two London parishes and two parishes in Northampton they work under the
parochial clergy who have applied for their help, and who, in most cases, provide
them with mission-rooms, &c., other exjyenses being generally borne by the Mildmay
Institution.
A large amount of work not distinctly parochial is carried on from the
Mildmay centre, as missions to railway men and to cabmen, flower missions, an
orphanage for girls, and a servants' home and registry. The Mildmay night school
for men, with an average weekly attendance of more than 1,200 during the winter
months, is also chiefly taught by the Deaconesses and those under training.
Narsing House, Mildmay House. — From this centre fifty trained nurses, many
of them ladies who give themselves freely to the work, are sent, on application, to
nurse in private families; and twenty-five more are constantly employed in the
Mildmay Memorial Cottage Hospital, the Mildmay Hospital in Bethnal' Green, the
Doncaster General Infirmary, and the nursing institution at Malta.
The hospital and medical mission at Jaffa were originated and are entirely carried
on by Mildmay workers.
Training House, The Willows, Stoke Hewington.— In this home young ladies are
trained in various branches of Christian work, and between thirty and forty can be
thus received. The Church of England Zenana Mission sends all its candidates here

for taraining, and opportunities are afforded for passing examinations in the various
branches at knowledge required for foreign medical missions, as well as for aoqtdring
experience in home mission work under the direction of the Deaconesses.

HOSPITAL SUNDAY.
It will be interesting to Chnrchmen to observe the readiness and liberality
with which the Chnrch has taken her part in giving success to this gpreat
and benevolent movement.
In the Statistical Section of this book will be found given in detail
the oontribations of the Chnrch of England and of all other reli^ons
bodies devoted to the Hospital Sunday Fund, in the metropolis of Lon-
don and other leading provincial towns, from the commencement of the
movement in 1873 to the present time ; the figures have been carefully
collected from the official reports. The following is a statement in
abstract of the number of collections and total ofierings contributed by
the Church and other denominations from 1873 to 1886 : —

With a view to state as far as possible the full extent of the Church's
labonr and sympathy in this movement, an effort has been made to ascer-
tain the number and amount of collective offerings devoted to Hospital
Sunday Funds in the various towns where this organisation exists. This
statement must not be regarded as exhaustive, but as inclusive only of
such cases in which it has been found possible to obtain needful informa-
tion.
In each case inquiry has been made by direct communication with
the officers of the Fund or other persons intimately acquainted with its
working, so that the accuracy of the results may be perfectly relied upon
so far as they are given. These tables will be found in the Statistical
Section.

A SOMEWHAT modem deyelopment of Ohrisfcian pMlanthropj is marked
bj the oonstitation and extension of Convalescent Homes and Cottage
Hospitals, directed and maintained by the Church. By these charities a
benevolent service is rendered to the sick and suffering, and they con-
tinually prove themselves to be practical auxiliaries to other depart-
ments of Church work. This list of Institutions has been considerably
enlarged since last year, and the Editor will be thankful for information

SECTION XV.— HOME MISSION WORK.
CLERGY HOMES OF REST.
The attention of the Church has not unfreqnentlj been called of late to
the extreme nsefalness of making some provision for the overworked
Clergy by which they may be enabled to secnre a short interval of rest
from the pressing strains of their laboar. In the Diocese of York the
matter has been carefnlly considered and actively dealt with by the
establishment of the Clergy Seaside Honse of Best at Scarborough, an
example which will, no doubt, be followed, as circumstances permit, in
other cases. The following is a brief statement of such institutions as
they now exist :
TOBX DIOCESAK CLEBOT SEASIDE H0USE.~Thi8 House was opened at Scar-
borough in 1878 ; by liberal help from the Diocese it has been furnished with every posabU
comfort, and made completely suitable for its purpose. It is intended for the use of sudh
Clergy of the Diocese of York, whether beneficed or licensed, as may by reason of overwork or
illness be desirous of obtaining rest and change of air, at a nominal cost.
Communications should be made to the Hon. Sec, Yen. Archdeacon
Blunt, D.D., the Vicarage, Scarborough.
ST. JOHN'S HOUSE OF BEST, XEHTOKE.— This House was opened in October
1879, to give change and rest to the Clergy and other professional men who Arom broken
health need such help. During the last year this institution was freely made use of to the
benefit of many.
Communications should be made to Rev. Henry Sidebotham, Chap-
lain of St. John's Church, Men tone, 19 Delahay Street, Westminster,
S.W. ; or Rev. C. Wyatt Smith, Middleton House, Upper Tooting, S.W.
WEST MALYEBir CLEBOT HOUSE OF BEST.^This House has been in existence
for some time, working under the sanction of the Bishop of the Diocese, and from the testimony
of very many it is well known to be doing a most useful work.
The object of the House is twofold :
1. To afford a House in a healthy locality, and with moderate charges, to which the Clergy
can come when in need of rest from their work.
2. To furnish a place at which retreats for the Clergy can be held throughout the summer
and autumn.
Communications should be addressed to Bey. F. A. O. Eichbaum,
Warden.
CLEBOT HOUSE OF BEST, XABOATE.— This Institution has existed for some years,
and has been the means of affording rest and comfort to many of the overworked Clerg^^
Communications should be addres9ed to the Lady-in- Charge.

CHAPTER m.
THE EDUCATIONAL WORK OF THE CHURCH.
aSOTION l— ELEMENTARY EDUOATION, AND LITERATURE
FOR THE PEOPLE.
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION.
Ths appointment of the Boyal Commission on Elementary Education,
and the resalts that may be expected to follow from its labonrs, bid fair
to make tbe year which has elapsed since the last issne of the OrncuL
Ykak-Book a memorable one in the history of elementary education.
The difficulties and hardships affecting the schools of the Church and of
other religious bodies can hardly fail to be thoroughly investigated by
the Commission, and remedies, it may reasonably be expected, will be
devised for grievances that are proved to be well founded. In the mean-
time it is satisfactory to notice that the vitality of the voluntary system
remains unimpaired. Not only does the Church maintain her old posi-
tions, but she is constantly taking up new ground.
Progress during the past year. — During the year ending August 31,
1885y the average attendance in Church schools in receipt of the G-ovem-
ment grant has risen from 1,607,823 to 1,631,763, being an increase of
23,940. The accommodation has risen from 2,454,788 to 2,505,477,
being an increase of 50,689 for the year. The total number of Church
schools inspected by the Education Department during the year was
Statistics for the last three years. — The following figures taken from
the returns of the Education Department, issued in April 1886, will
show the progress that has been made by the various classes of schools
during the last three years :

Expenditure since 1870. — Even these figures, it must, however, be
noted, give a very imperfect impression of the work of the schools of the
Church of England and of the voluntary schools generally. Ck)ing back
for a moment to the year 1870, we observe that during the 15 years
which have since elapsed the accommodation in Elementary Schools has
been nearly trebled. The School Board system and the Yolantary
system have been at work side by side ; and while the School Boards,
with their practically unlimited resources, have provided accommodation
for 1,600,718 children, Christian zeal and energy, unaided by the rates,
have, in exactly the same period, provided accommodation for 1,519,416,
of which 1,150,690 are due to tne Church. The Church alone had, in
^Umenlaxvi (^bucation.
183
1885, nearly one million more school places than are provided in Board
Schools.
Expenditure once 1811. — Going still farther back, to the year 1811,
-when the National Society was founded, we would call attention to the
total expenditure by the Church on Elementary Education since an or-
ganised system began to be established in the country. This will be
clearly seen from the following table, which is based on Government
retnms, supplemented to a limited extent from the authentic records of
the National Society :

The &ct cannot be too strongly emphasised that these vast sums have
been expended by benevolent Gnurch people in full confidence of the
permanence of the system which they were intended to support. By
far the lai^est portion of the expenditure in building was incurred at the
express invitation of the Government of the day ; and though the terms
upon which the State has availed itself of the assistance of the various
religious bodies in the work of education have varied from time to time,
there has been throughout an undertaking expressed or implied that the
Denominational system should have equitable and generous treatment.
Without a well-founded conviction that this would be the case, the
efforts of benevolent people to establish permanent School buildings and
to convey the sites on educational trusts would have been comparatively
limited.
Diocesan Inspection. — It has to be borne in mind that the work of test-
ing the religious instruction in Church schools, which was dischai^ed by
the State down to the year 1870, is now carried on by the Church
itself. A large body of experienced inspectors, acting in each case under
instructions ^m the Bishop of the Diocese, are engaged upon the work.
The maintenance of these inspectors involves the expenditure of not less
than 15,000?. a year on the part of the Diocesan Boards, whose funds are
in many cases largely supplemented by the National Society.
Church Training Colleges. — ^In like manner, the work of testing
the religious instruction in Church Training Colleges has since the
year 1870 devolved entirely upon the Church, the National Society
contributing the whole amount of the annual cost. This work is en-

Schools. This would Increase the total expenditure by at least a million pounds.

NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE EDUCATION
OF THE POOR IN THE PRINCIPLES OF THE ESTAB-
LISHED CHURCH.
Thb National 8ocibtt is the recognised handmaid of the Church for promoting
the Edacation of the Poor in distinctive religious principles. During seyenty-five
years it has been working with unremitting energy ; first, in stirring up an interest
in the education of the poor and enlisting voluntary zeal at a time when the Legis-
lature had not even tum<Hl its attention to the work ; afterwards in extending schools
and improving the means of instruction through all parts of England ; and now in
strengthening and maintaining the enormous advantages for Church teaching which
have been the result of so many years' continued exertion.
The administration of its affairs is vested in the highest ecclesiastical authorities
of the kingdom, together with ten temporal peers or privy councillors, and sixteen
other elected members, lay and clerical.
In connection with the Society's Central Office in Westminster there axe various
Diocesan Boards of Education tliroughout the country, which have been established
with the object of diffusing the most accurate and useful information bearing upon
the condition and prospects of elementary education.
Olgecti of the Soeietj. — The main object of the Society (as expressed in the words
of its Charter) is to secure ' that the poorer members of the Church shall have their
chUdien daily instructed in suitable learning, works of industry, and the principles of
the Christian religion according to the Established Church.' This object the Com-
mittee have constantly kept in view, and they have alwayis sought to administer the
funds with which they have been entrusted so as best to overtake the wants of Church
(education in densely populated, mining, and manufacturing districts, and in poor
agricultural parishes.
The operations of the Society have been mainly directed to two purposes :- -1st. It
lias sought to increase the means of education, by multiplying the number of properly
constructed school buildings. 2nd. It has constantly tfeen engaged in promoting the
most approved system of instruction by the establishment of institutions for training
teachers, both male and female; by the occasional inspection and organisation of
schools ; by supplying from its Central Depository, at a reduced cost to * members,'
reading sheets and lesson books, maps, apparatus, &c. ; and by collecting and diffusing
the most reliable information with reganl to any temporary or permanent assistance
that may be obtained in the way of grants for educational objects.
A third and most important object has come into view since the passing of the
Education Acts of 1870, 1873, 1876, and 1880. The Society has now to watch and
protect the interests of the Cliurch under the working of the new Acts, to maintain
if possible the distinctive religious character of Church schools, to foster an efficient
system of diocesan religious inspection, and in general to compensate for the great
loas inflicted by the withdrawal of all encouragement by Government towards Church
education.
School Buildings and Teachers* Beiidencei. — The Society has assisted in the
erection of suitable school buildings and teachers' residences by making grants from
its funds. Formerly there were collections in all churches throughout England and
Wales on behalf of the Society by virtue of Royal Letters. Since the discontinuance
of these Letters the main income of the Society arises from annual subscriptions,
donations, and collections in churches. The amount received from these sources has
been expended in building, enlarging, and impro\'ing schools ; in assisting to maintain
training institutions, and in making small grants towards procuring supplies of school
books and apparatus. Every application for a grant towards any of these objects is
taken into favourable consideration, provided it has the sanction of the incumbent of
the parish or district, and, in the case of building grants, is countersigned by the
Bishop of the Diocese.
The gross amount contributed by the Society towards the erection of training
institutions and schools up to December 31, 1885, is 645,458/., and aO^,4*l'^l. Vo'^^t^
i88 Rational $ocidt;i.
the cost of maintaining training colleges. It should be borne in mind that, large as
this sum undoubtedly is, it only represents a small portion of the actual outlay ex-
pended, as each grant from the Society is made on the condition that a proportionate
amount of local contributions has, in each case, been raised.
Training Institutions. — From almost the date of its foundation, the Society's
attention was drawn to the fact that, if Church education for the poorer classes was
to accomplish all that its friends and promoters desired, it was necessary not only to
assist in the erection of school buildings, but also to proyide that competent teachers
should bo found to take charge of the discipline and instruction of the children. The
Committee have accordingly made liberal grants towards the erection of twenty-one
provincial Training Institutions, and have had under their own more immediate direc-
tion five such institutions, viz., three for schoolmasters and two for schoolmistresses.
Grants in aid of the annual maintenance of Training Institutions for both school-
masters and schoolmistresses are at the present time ms^e from Uie general funds of
the Society.
During the past fifteen years grants to the amount of 4,910Z. have been voted
towards the building and enlargement of Church Training Colleges, and 53,784/. have
been paid towards the maintenance of students in these Training Colleges.
Beligions Inspection of Sehooli. — The Government having ceased entirely to inspect
schools in religious subjects, or to make any grant of money dependent on religious
knowledge, it has become of the highest importance to organise by volimtary effort a
sii*stem of religious inspection. The Bishops have recognised this necessity, and a
general movement to supply the want has been made throughout England. The
National &>cicty lias already voted grants to the amount of 7,4672. in aid of this work
to twent y-tlve dioceses, in addition to an expenditure of 1,084/. in providing Schedules
for the UA^ of Diocesan Inspectors. During the past fourteen years, a sum of 13,382/.
\\jx» Invn |>aid for the inspection and examination of Training Colleges in religious
subject ai.
Ctatral Dtpotitory.— As an additional help in furthering the work for which the
Svviotv wji.^ iuoor\x)ratoil, the Committee about forty years ago established a
lV\H\»itory f\»r the s;4U\ at a reiluccd rate to * members of the Society,' School Com-
iuitt«V!^ and Ti'achors.of the most approved school books, map)s, .slates, apparatus, &c.
The >^ i^U^m \4 this step luis been abundantly cWdenced by the large sales now effected
in the lV(v>»itorA\ and by the favourable testimony which has been borne to its use-
(u\i\ee<i and ixmvenienoe by clerg:}*men and school managers. The sales, which in
IS^tS t^ert* aKmt S.IKKV., have amounteti during the past year to 48,666/.
Durii\|; the i^a»t «ix years a great number of new books, to meet the requirements

CHURCH OF ENGLAND POOR SCHOOL RELIEF FUND
FOR THE METROPOLIS.
This Fund was established for the purpose of assisting poor schools in the metro-
polis in their struggle against the difficulties caused by extreme poverty, intensified
by the competition of Board Schools.
The Fund is managed by the officers of the National Society, under the direction
of a Committee nominated by the National Society, and by the Bishops of London
and Bochester.
Pecuniary help is given to the schools in some of the following ways :
1. By a donation to place the school on a more efficient footing.
2. By a contribution towards maintenance in exceptionally poor districts, or
under exceptional circumstances.
3. By a temporary loan in anticipation of the Government grant, security
being obtained for its repayment.
In every case where a grant or loan is made, the school managers have the benefit
of the advice and experience of some representative of the Fund, who goes carefully
into their difficulties, and suggests plans for improving the finances as well as for
increasing the efficiency of the school.
The grants made from the Ftmd during the year 1885 amounted to 2902., and the
total amount of grants since the formation of the Fund has been 5,4052.
The Gommitt^ have granted during the year 1885 loans to the amount of 2,6492.
The total amount of loans since the establishment of the Fund has been 1 8,2292.
All commnnications respecting the work of the Poor School Relief
Fund shonld be addressed to the Honorary Secretary, the Rev. J. Duncan,
National Society's Office, Sanctuary, Westminster.

THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN
KNOWLEDGE.
ABSTRACT OF WORK, 1880.
I. UTESABY WOBK. — The number of pablications issued during the pai»t year
has largely increased, and the total sales for the year amounted to 82,807/.
1. Tract Committee. — Among the most important works issued may be mentioned
* The Illustrated Family Bible,* now at length completed and published in Tolume
' form. It is also to be had in two volumes in various bindings. To *The ITathers for
English Readers ' a monograph on S. Synesius of Cyrene has been added. The Society
has adopted a new means of spreading a knowle<^ of Church history. A sum of
200/. has been voted for the purpose of supplying magic lanterns on loan to the clei^y
to illustrate lectures on Church history. Advantage hsia been taken on all sides of the
opportunity thus offered. A life of Mazarin has been added to the Home Library.
The subject of the History of the English Church has received particular attention, and
two short illustrated Histories arc in active preparation. *The Dawn of Day,* which
is specially adapted for localisation as a Parish magazine, has been g^reatly enlarged
and improved. It is by far the cheapest of parish magazines, and can be made self-
supporting even when localised in small numbers.
2. 0eneral Literature. — Several additions to the series on ' Early Britain,* * Chief
Ancient Philosophies,' and ' Heroes of Science,* have appeared during the past year,
viz. * Post-Norman Britain,* * The Ethics of Aristotle,' and ' Physicists.* ' Household
Health,* by Dr. Richardson, has been added to the People's Library, and » very large
number of tales has been issued. A novelty is the series of Patent Photo-relief Maps,
of which a large number have been published.
8. Christian Eyidence. — Special attention has been given to evidential literature
suitable for circulation in India, and a grant of 200/. worth of the Society's publi-
oations on Christian evidence has been made, with a view of combating the growth
of infidelity in India ; of this grant nearly 60/. worth of books has been distributed
among the various educational establishments throughout India.
4. Foreign TrantlatioiL. — A very large number of copies of Holy Scripture, por-
tions of Holy Scripture, and the Book of Common Prayer, with various elementary
educational works, have been issued in Swaliili, Urdu, Arabic, Chinese, Tukudh, Se-
coana, Hausa, Mota, Zimshian, Eamba, Megi, as well as some in European languages.
XL XOHETGBAKTS.—l. At Home.— St. Katharine's College for Schoolmistresses
was built by the Society, which has paid 1,467/. towards its maintenance this past
year. 250/. have been given in money prizes to those pupil-teachers who, entering a

RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY.
This Society was established in 1799, on the basis of united action on the part of
Choichmen and Nonconformists in the production and circulation of Evangelical
Literature. It was felt that, without any compromise or surrender of the distinctiye
principles of the body to which they might individually belong, they could heartily
co-operate in diffusing literature iDculcating and upholding those great Qospel truths
on the importance of which all Protestant Evangelical Christians are agreed. So
from the first the Committee of the Society has been composed of an equal number
of Churchmen and Nonconformists. Both are represented on its editorial staff. One
of its Honorary Secretaries is always a clergyman of the Church of England, the other
a Nonconformist minister.
The subscribers belong to many Churches — a very large proportion to the Church
of England. Its grants are made without distinction to all who apply and make
oat a case for assistance.
The Foreign operations of the Society are also extensive through its corresponding
Committees in India, China, Japan, &c. &c., by help given to missionaries all over the
world. The Society does an important work in the publication of a Chjistian litera-
ture— ^the Missionaries of all Protestant Societies participate in the help thus given,
and some of the best-known and valued Missionaries of the Church of England serve
on these Committees. The gprants made by the Society in aid of Colportage and in
aid of tiie formation of circulating libraries, as well as those for the circulation of
periodicals and tracts, are most thankfully acknowledged by Colonial Bishops and
En^li^ Chaplains abroad.
The amount given in grants last year was 47,722Z. 18«. 34., being 19,019/. 19«. 5^.
more than all the contributions received. The balance was suppli^ from the trade
receipts of the Society.
All commnnications should be made to the Secretary, the Bey. Lewis
Borrett White, D.D., 5G Paternoster Row, London.
PURE LITERATURE SOCIETY.
This Society was established in 1854 upon non-sectarian principles, and has since
been actively engaged in promoting the circulation of pure and interesting literature,
and it has suppUed books at half-price to 7,132 libraries for working men, schools,
and other institutions, to the value of 58,300/.
More than 100 'Magazine Associations' are connected with the Society, and
above 1,000 parcels of the selected periodicals are sent out monthly from the office.
Address the Secretary, Mr. Richard Turner, 11 Buckingham Street,
Adelphi, Strand.
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND BOOK SOCIETY.
The object of this Society is for the supply of Christian literature, and it has been
estabUf^ed about six years.
It aids the poorer Clergy by making free grants of theological books to those
whose incomes do not enable them to purchase such, and during the last year scat-
tered books to the value of 498/. in this way.
Free'g^antsjof the Society's publications — books, booklets, tracts, and leaflets — are
made to the Clergy, Missionaries, and others, for free distribution in their parishes
and various spheres of work. The total of these grants last year amounted to
804/.
Half-price grants of books are made to libraries for the parish or Sunday School,
and also to Young Men and Young Women's Institutes and other libraries, and u^u
192 ^^uxc^ of England 'gSooE ^ociefi^.
the grant being sanctioned by the Committee the Society's * Arranged Gatalogae ' is
sent, from which to select the volumes for the library. Last year the grants made
amounted to 282/.
Grants (free and half-price) of the Society's H3rmn-book * Ck)mmon Praise * were
made to churches, &c., to the extent of 521.
All commnnications shonld be addressed io the Secretary, Mr. John
Shrimpton, 11 Adam Street, Strand, W.C.
THE GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF CHURCH SCHOOL
MANAGERS AND TEACHERS.
This Association was founded in 1872.
Objects. — 1* To bring Church school managers and teachers into closer union, for the pur-
pose of enabling them to giye expression to their opinions on any public question affecting
national education.
2. To protect the liberty of religious teaching in Church schools, and to enable managers
and teachers to lend their combined inflaenoe to secure its efficiency.
8. To enable managers and teachers to exert their due influence m the protection of the many
important interests common to both, which are seriously affected from time to time by the
regfulations of the Council Office.
To effect these objects it seeks to form in all parts of the country local associations of
managers and teachers in affiliation with itself, and to unite all local societies with similar
objecto.
The Central Council, consisting of an equal number of managers and teachers elected by
the general body, meets monthly in London.
A Congress is held eyexy year, to which branches send representatives to confer on matters
of importance.
The Congress for 1886 met at Chester.
About finy-flix branches are connected with the Central Society.
Commanications to be made to the Hon. Secretaries, Bey. J. S.
Brownrigg, National Society's Office, Westminster, S. W. ; and Mr. Mor-
gan, 45 Marshall Street, Golden Square, W.
POPULAR LITERATURE.
Thi necessity of providing literature, popular in style and pure in moral
teaching, is becoming more and more a matter of importance, as affording
a direct channel through which attempts may be made to counteract the
evil influences which the spread of unwholesome publications has exerted.
The difficulties of carrying this out upon an extensive scale are, no doubt,
very great, as they involve financial risks which it is not generally easy to
get undertaken. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge has
taken up the matter, and is rendering a most useful service in its
endeavours to meet this admitted want. From a statistical inquiry
which the Yeab-Book Committee is now making throughout the Dioceses
of England and Wales, it would appear that there is a very general and
increasing adoption of the Parochial Library and Magazine as a means
of giving the people cheap and ready access to literature of a wholesome
character. The multiplication of Parochial Libraries may well suggest
whether it might not be possible to secure a much wider circulation
of suitable literature by the interchange of books in a given Deanery or
group of Parishes.
Th« Soeietj for PromotiAg Ghriftian Knowledge, recognising the demand for popular
Uteiatore, has lately published a series of books called the < People's Library.* A
(^ifcrafttre for t^e ^othinq glasses. 193
short description of some of the volumes was given in the Year-Books for 1885 and
1886. Some of the writers of this series have dealt in a popular way with scientific
and moral subjects and biography, while others have contributed interesting narra-
tives. Ten volumes have already been published and others are in contemplation,
the last addition to the series being a volume on * Household Health ' by Dr. B. W.
Richardson. ' The Churchman*s Family Bible/ which is now issued complete in one
or two volumes, is a valuable addition to the publications which the Society has
issued to meet the wants of the people.
Parochial Xagaiinei. — By increasing the circulation of these serials much good
has undoubtedly been done, in introducing popular and pure literature into the
homes of the working classes. It is to Canon Erskine Clarke that the Church is
chiefly indebted for the idea which has led to the introduction of a parochial
magazine into so large a number of well-organised parishes. The publication (*The
Parish Magazine ') edited by himself is well known and has a very large circulation ;
* The Dawn of Day,' issued by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, has
reached a monthly issue of over 150,000 ; this magazine has recently been greatly
enlaiged, and a coloured wrapper added, thus becoming by far the cheapest of parochial
magazines. <Home Words* and the *Day of Days,' edited by the Be v. C. Bullock,
have become very popular and are very widely used. A large number of other pub-
lications specially adapted to the tastes and intellectual attainments of the working
classes are issued from the same quarter. Among other parochial magazines doing a
good work we should mention the following: *The Gospeller,' 'Things New and
Old,' 'The Evangelist,' and *The Banner of Faith.' 'The Banner' and 'Fireside
News ' are weekly papers exercising a valuable influence in counteracting the question-
able tendencies of some of the weekly journals.
BOOK-HAWKINQ ASSOCIATION.
The Ofhcul Ybar-Book for 1884 (p. 172) gave a detailed account of the
work accomplislied by the Church through the aid of Book- Hawking
Associations throughout the country.
The movement may be said to owe its origin to the late Bishop of
Rochester, who, in the year 1851 (as Archdeacon Wigram), made use of
this agency in Hampshire. For many years the effort continued to grow
in usefulnesSi but more recently it has been supplemented by other agen-
cies for the distribution of books throughout our country villages. A
certain number of local associations are still in existence, and are doing
good work.

SECTION n.— SUNDAY SOHOOL WOBK.
As sapplementary to the work of secalar edacation the religioas teaching
of Sandaj Schools is not only increasing in importance, bat consequently
demands the most earnest and watchfid attention with a view to gire it
such intelligence and devotion as to qoalify it for the place which it mnst
now hold in the Ministry of the Church. The Sunday School Institute
has, through many long years, laboured to stimulate and direct this work,
and as a practical result of its endeavours we now see in almost every
Diocese some kind of distinct organisation for increasing the efficiency of
Sunday Schools. The work as it is described in the following short
summaries may be said to have principally a twofold aim bearing upon
the intellectual and spiritual life of the Sunday School Teacher. With a
view to encourage intellectual fitness, in several Dioceses there is a
systematic provision for instructing Teachers in Bible and Church His-
tory, the Prayer-book, and kindred subjects; this is accomplished by
courses of lectures given at certain fixed centres during the winter
months, the results heiast tested by annual examinations.
To aid the growth of a higher standard of personal devotion Services
of the nature of * Quiet Days have been held principally in the Dioceses
of St. Albans and Manchester, though, no doubt, elsewhere ; a short
account of which will be found in a previous section of this volume,
dealing with the subject of spiritual aids to Church workers and
Communicants.
CHURCH OF ENGLAND SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE.
This Society was established forty-three years ago, for the purpose of increasing the
efficiency of Sunday Schools in the Church of England.
Work Abroad. -> No stronger evidence of the value of its operations could be ad-
duced than the fact that its plans and methods arc being freely reproduced by others,
both at home and abroad. In America the Sunday School Institute Committee has
followed up its work by the production of a monthly magazine. The work of Sundaj'
School Organisation is progressing in Canada and Australia, where a scheme for
voluntary examination of Teachers is under consideration.
Work at Home.— A further and substantial evidence of the success of the Insti-
tute's operations may be seen from the increased attention which has been devoted
to the subject of Diooesan organisation. The Committee of the Institute is endeavour-
ing, as &ir as possible, to assist this movement by holding local Conferences, and
during the past year such gatherings have been held with useful results at Canter-
bury, Peterborough, and Portsmouth
PublicationB. — An important part of the Institute's work consists in supplying
suitable notes of lessons, and other publications for the use of Sunday School Teachers.
In the year 1885 the Publication Committee were successful in securing the publica-
tion of several Courses of Lessons and other Manuals of direct practical value.
Depatations.— Another mode in which the Institute carries on its operations is by
sending qualified teachers into all parts of the country, for the purpose of in-
structing teachers in the art of teaching. These tcacliers attend meetings, p^ive
$un^(tQ ^cl^ool ^nslUttle.
195
lectures and training lessons, and afford information on matters connected with
Sunday School work. During the year, 366 yisits have been made by the Institute's
Deputation staff. Eighteen associations have been added to the list of those which
are in union with the Institate ; the total number of associations in union is now
342. Of these 46 are in the metropolis, 280 in other parts of the United Kingdom and
Ireland, and 16 in India and the Colonies.
Teaehen* Examination. — The examination is arranged in three sections, viz,
elementary, advanced, and art of teaching. Daring the past 13 years examinations of
teachers have been arrange<l, and teachers from all parts of the country have entered
for the examinations. Local centres, under the management of the local clergy, have
been formed in all the principal towns. Preparation classes have been held in many
of the centres, which have been found very helpful to the teachers and others who
attended. The following table shows the last results of the examination, which was
held in May 1885 :—

There is no distinct orgmoisation of a Diocesan character as yet in con-
nection with the promotion of Sanday Schools ; bat there are several
associations existing doing a very practical work. Of these, we may
mention the Society for East Dartford, which annually holds coarse of
meetings for the teachers of the district, providing a series of training
letsons and encouraging discussions upon several branches of Sunday
School work.
Information can be obtained from Mr. H. T. Bobins, Bexlev
Heath.
No Diocesan or Archidiaconal omnisatioo exists. In several parts of
the Diocese associations have been rormed in connection with the Church
of England Sunday School Institute, and meetings are held once a year
or oftener to discuss papers or hear model lessons.
At Middlesborough there is a Church Sunday School Union, and in
connection with it there are quarterly meetings of teachers, and an annual
service in one of the churches in the town.
In the Tork Church Institute arrangements are made for instruction
classes.
Manv of the Clergy hold monthly teachers' meetings.
In the Scarborough Deanery an examination is held at the various
schools simultaneously. The children's paper work is sent to the
Secretary, and by him to the examiners. Certificates and prizes are
awarded.
Information may be obtained from the Bev. H. Toovey, 14 Grosvenor
Terrace, York.
In the City of York there is an organisation called the York Incor-
porated (Church of England) Sunday School Committee. It was insti-
tuted in 1786. There are 12 schools belonging to the Committee,
containing 1,537 pupils, 284 of them being above fourteen years of age,
with an averafi^e attendance of 89 per cent in the morning, and 70 per
cent in the afternoon ; taught by 140 voluntary teachers, 46 of whom
attend the whole day. Meetings for teachers are held; the Days of
Intercession arc observed. A library of above 1,250 volumes for the use
of the teachers is extensively used.
Information may be obtained from Mr. John Howard, 3 New Street, :
York. !
Local circumstances tend rather to prevent Diocesan or Archidiaconal
organisations ; but there are many local associations, and in some of the
towns instruction classes for teachers. L^K^ meetings of Sunday
School teachers have been held at Castle Cary, Seavmgton, Bath,
Bridgwater, Old Geeve, Yeovil, and the Sunday School Intercession
(October 18 and 19) is regularly observed at Taunton, Weston-super-
Mare, &c.

There is no organised inspection of Sanday Schools ; Sunday School
teachers are invited to submit to the examinations held in May for the
pupil-teachers under the direction of the Diocesan Board of Education.
Information may be obtained from the Rer, II. Roe, Rectory, Poyn-
tington, near Sherborne, Dorset.
The Committee appointed by the Diocesan Oinference, and referred to
in the Yeau-Book for 1884, has been successful in forming; Sunday School
Associations in several Deaneries.
Model lessons are given, and examinations of teachers are frequently
held. The Ckimmittee also issues annually a syllabus of lessons, the
annual sale of which has been about 3,000 copies.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. B. W. Wilson, Lazonby
Rectory, Penrith.
A Diocesan Sundav School Association has been formed under the
presidency of the Bishop, with the general design of aiding Sunday
school work in its several branches throughout the Diocese. The first
year's progress has given encouragement to hope for greater results in the
future. There are at present ten affiliated associations embracing over
100 separate schools. The Committee has issued a syllabus of lessons
which nas proved generally acceptable.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. F. L. Farmer, Mill-
brook Vicarage, Stalybridge.
There is no definite organisation at present, but a Committee has been
appointed to further the efficiency of the Sunday School system, and
submits its Report from time to time to the Diocesan Conference. A
Diocesan system of examination for the Beaior classes in Sunday schools
has been provisionally accepted by the Bishop's Council on Education,
somewhat on the lines of the Sundny School Institute.
A considerable number of Sunday School teachers in the Diocese
have presented themselves at diflcrcnt centres, and passed the examina-
tions of the Sunday School Institute.
From a report recently issued by the Diocesan Committee it appears
that there are approximately 3,577 teachers in the Diocese, a considerable
increase upon the numbers previously returned. Several new associations
have been formed within the last year.
Information may be obtained from Canon Crosse, Uastings.
In addition to H.) a Catalogue of Books and Publications useful for
Teaching ; (ii.) A Scheme of Subjects suggested as a guide to the Clergy*
for Organismg Graduated Teaching in their Sunday Schools ; and (iii.)
a Form of Service for the Admission of Teachers, the Society has now
issued (iv.) Sunday School Teachers* Resolution Cards, copies of which
have been sent to everv Incumbent ; and (v.) Forms of Certificate, signed
by the Bishop, of Admission to the Office of ' Diocesan Teacher,* for
which all teachers are eligible, who are Communicants, of not less than
20 years of age, and have had an experience of at least 2 years in
teaching.
The second Triennial Festival of the Society was held in the Cathe-
dral on Wednesday, June 23, under the presidency of the Lord Bishop.
There was first a* Conference in the Cathedral at 11.15 a.m., ou the
following subjects : — I. The Aims, Duties, and Position of a Sunday
School Teacher. II. How to secure for our Scholars adequate Instruc-
tion in the Faith. III. Means of retaining and influencing Sunday
Scholars. At 2.45 p.m. a special festival service was hcUl, with a sermon
by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese. The attendance of Clergy and
teachers was estimated at over 1,500.
Supplementary meetings of Clergy and teachers, of a similar type to
the Diocesan festival, were held at convenient centres in the Archdea-
conries of Bedford, Sudbury and Huntingdon : and at Assington (for the
Deanery of Sudbury), St. James*s, Bury St. Edmundo, St. M.«.\X\ift.V«^

Cambridge, and other places, ' Diocesan Teachers ' were publicly enrolled
with service in Church.
The sole condition of membership in the Society is that the Sunday
school desirous of joining the Society shall forward, through the clergy-
man of the parish, an application to that effect to one of the Honorary
Secretaries^ Kev. £. T. Marshall, Manea Vicarage, March ; or Rev. K.
Appleton, Trinity College, Cambridge.
There is at present no distinct Diocesan organisation, but a Committee
appointed by the Diocesan Confierence watches over the interests of Sunday
Scnool work at large, and reports from time to time.
Information may be obtained fh>m the Venerable Archdeacon Sanders,
Sowton Rectory, Lxeter.
No Diocesan organisation exists ; but in the city of Gloucester there is
an association of teachers, under the presidency- of one of the local Clergy,
which meets once in two months. At these meetings, lectures and train-
ing lessons ore given. An annual examination is also held in Glou-
cester, in selected portions of Holy Scripture and the Prayer Book,
for Church Sunday scholars and members of Bible classes ; and prizes
have been awardea for proficiency in these subjects, which are presented
by the Bisho{> and the Dean. It is in contemplation to widen the area of
t&e examinations so as to embrace the whole of the Deanery of Gloucester,
taking in every doss of school.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. £. C. Scobell, St. Luke*s
Vicarage, Gloucester.
No Diocesan or Archidiaconal organisation at present. But associa-
tions in connection with the Church of England Sunday School Institute
exist at Hereford, Ross, and Bewdley. There are also several other
parishes affiliated to this Society.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. Alfred Relton,The Laurels,
Tenbury.
Sunday Schools. — A scheme has been set on foot whereby the Bishop
will give letters of recognition to Sunday School Teachers who —
(a) Being 25 years of age have done five years* good service.
(b) To adult Teachers in Day Schools who have worked in a Sunday
School for two years.
(c) To Teachers, above 20 years of age, who, after two years' efficient
ser\*ice, pass an examination under the Sunday School Council.
( d) To Teochers who, having gone through a prescribed course of
training and instruction, have worked efficiently tor two years.
A course of training and instruction for Sunday School Candidate ;
Teachers to be^n at the age of 14, thrown over a period of three years,
is suggested, with an examination at the end of each year ; the result of
each examination to be entered on a Diocesan Certificate to be presented
to them. At the end of the third year's successful examination they be-
come regular Teachers.
The jmporbince of Sunday School Teachers* Unions all over the Diocese,
as well as special meetings for deepening the spiritual life, is insisted on.
It h also proposed to hold a Triennial Sunday School Teachers' Festival
in the Cathedral.
The subjects for the first examination of Sunday School Candidate
Teachers to be held in December 1887 have been specified.
An examination of Sunday School Scholars in fixed subjects through-
out the Diocese, is held in Advent of each year.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. Canon Lonstlale, The
Close, Lichfield.
No general Association of Church Sunday Schools exists in the
Diocese.
The sub-committee api)ointed by the Lincolnshire Diocesan Board of
Education (which consists now of twenty-two members) ha.s invited the
I assistance of several Qergy in various deaneries of Lincohishire, who are
ready, when desired, to give model lessons and addresses, and to assist in

Four ruridecanal associations exist in Lincolnshire^ in two of which
aoarterly meetings have been held, and lectures on Church history
aelivered during Ust year.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. C. K. Jarvis, Hatton
Rectory, Wragby, Lincolnshire.
No complete or official Diocesan organisation exists as yet, but 11
associations — 8 being in Liverpool and its suburbs, others at Hindl<nr,
Pemberton and Up-Holland — ^bave been formed in connection with the
Liverpool Church of England Sunday School Institute (Offices, Library,
and Beading Room, b Commerce Court, 11 Lord Street), and are cordially
recognised by the Bishop. Associations also exist at Ormskirlc and
Prescot, while others are in course of formation and will be ultimately
affiliated to the Liverpool Sunday School Institute. A special effoit
is now bein^ made, in accordance with a resolution passed at two
successive Diocesan Conferences, to systematise Sunday School work
throughout the entire Diocese ; and it is hoped that eventually the
whole of the Diocese may be included in the Liverpool Institute's area.
The Liverpool Committee are again issuing a syllabus with notes of
lessons (4th series, but each complete), a large sale having been secured
in three previous years.
The number of Church Sunday scholars connected with the Liverpool
Institute is 52,791, with 3,679 teachers in 144 schools. The approximated
number of scholars in unaffiliated Sunday Schools is 21,795, with 1,441
teachers in 76 8cho<^. Total for Diocese 74,586 scholars, 5,120 teachers,
220 schools.
The average attendance of teachers has been 82 per cent., and of
scholars 73 per cent.
The Days of Intercession on behalf of Sunday Schools were observed
in an increased number of parishes. A pastoral letter from the Bishop,
together with a circular requesting special prayer on the need of more
improvement in the number and efficiency or the teachers, was issued to
the Clergy and superintendents throughout the Diocese, and the Institute
held a central service for Clergv and teachers.
The results of the Teachers* iBxamination have not q^uite equalled those
of former years, but those of the Scholars* Examination show a marked
advance.
£lder Scholars, — Belonging to 108 schools which have answered
inquiries, there are 9,143 scholars over 15 years of age on the books.
In Liverpool there are monthly meetings of Clergy and teachers, in
the countnr half-yearly or quarterly meetings, for discussing Sunday
School topics, arranging for examinations, preparing notes of lessons,
establishing preparation classes for teachers, collecting statistics, and
arranging for special services. There is also an annual conversazione
held in connection with most associations.
Separate Service* for Children, — ^Ninety-three services in connection
with the Church of England are held in Liverpool each Sunday, of which
39 are in the momiug, 51 in evening, and 3 in afternoon. The average
attendance both morning and evening totals 10,818 children and 521
helpers. There are 30 special speakers on the Institute's list, and 8
visitors to Children's services.
Information may be obtained from Rev. Frank B. Tyrer, M.A. (^Vicar
of All SainU), 156 Queen's Road, Liverpool, President of the Institute ;
or from F. Gregory Jones, Esq., 27 St. Domingo Grove, Everton, Hon,
Secretar}'. The office of Hon. Clerical Secretary is vacant.
No organisation, Diocesan or Archidiaconal, exists.
Examinations for teachers are conducted at certain centres by the
Church of England Sunday School Institute.
It is in contemplation' to have Sunday Schools (in parishes where
there are no Church Day Schools) examined in religious knowledge by
the Diocesan inspector.

Severfti Sunday Schools (in Board School diatricts) hare notified their
willingness to be inspected — and two such schoola were inspected in
1886, with yery satisfactory results. In some parishes the bilingual
difficulty is felt to stand in the way. The Diocesan inspector has
drawn up a syllabus, approved by the 'bishop, for the guidance of such
schools — and the Bishop has offered prizes for proHciency in C-atei^hism
and Prayer-book knowledge.
At a' recent Diocesan Conference a proposition was made to form a
Sunday School union for the Diocese, bat no decision was come to ; the
Bishop, however, promised that a committee should inquire into the whole
subject, and report.
There are within the Diocese several local Sunday School unions,
formed to promote and ^ve definiteneas to Sunday School work.
Information concemmg the examination of Sunday Scholars in Bo&rd
School districts may be obtained from the Rev. A. J. H. Rusaell, St.
John^s Villa, Penarth, Cardiff.
The examination of Sunday Scholars and Teachers forms a depart-
ment of the Diocesan Board of Education.
The work of the Board in this department has developed rapidly
within the last few years.
A syllabus of lessons with notes for Teachers is issued before Advent
in each year.
Monev grants are made by the Board to contribute to the efficiency of
Sunday Schools.
There are several Sunday School associations in the Diocese, for ruri-
decanal or other districts, and in some of them a plan of inspection is
organised ; but there is no general scheme of inspection of Sunday Schools.
The examination for Teachers is held in Lent, and that for Sicholars in
November of each year at 88 different centres.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. J. Swinburne Bateson,
Clerical Assistant ^retary, Diocesan Chambers, 51 South King Street,
Manchester.
The instruction of Sunday School Teachers is included in the Diocesan
Scheme for Higher Education in Religious Knowledge. This scheme,
which in many respects is a new departure in Diocesan organisation, takes
as its principle the duty of the Church to instruct systematically in
religious knowledge adults as well as children, and the upper and
educated as well as the lower and less educated classes. Accordingly the
Diocesan Board of Education, with the direct sanction and authority of
the Bishop, suggests each year a course of study in (1) Holy Scripture,
(2) the Prayer-book, (8) Church History, recommending at the same
time books of reference, and arranging examinations with certificates for
those who pass.
In coimection with this course of reading lectures are given in various
Earts of the Diocese. This year (1886) such lectures were delivered in
ent at 20 different centres, with an aggregate attendance of at least
1,000.
A Church History Society, established last year, astiists in carrying
out the scheme by (1) issuing ' occasional papers ' on the subjects of the
course, (2) establisning lendmg libraries at various centres, (3) putting
out intermediate papers of questions for guidance in reading, and in
preparing for examinations, (4) holding drawing-room meetings, (5) for-
warding reports to members and assisting their studies in various ways.
The Society already numbers 700 Lay and Clerical members and
associates.
The Diocesan scheme includes a system of visiting upper schools and
examining them in religious knowledge.
Local associations exist throughout the Diocese, which hold meetings
for discussion and mutual counsel.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. A. Carr, Bishop's
Examiner, St. Sebastian's Vicarage, Wokingham. (

The subject of giving more direct enconragement to the work of
Sunday Schools has been brought under the notice of the Diocesan
Conference, and though no steps of a very practical kind hare been taken,
there is every prospect of an Association being speedily formed.
Northampton Ruridecanal Sunday School Association.
This Association, which was described in the Ybar-Book for 1884» hat
held several meetings during the year just past, concluding with a festival.
I^ectures and model lessons were given by various Clergymen and laymen
in different parishes of the town.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. Canon Barker, liushden
Rectory, Northampton. There are also Ruridecanal Associations at
Leicester and Peterborough, actively working. The Rev. A. C. Odell,
St. Mamret's, is Secretary for Leicester. The Rev. C. Dowman, Long-
thorpe, Peterborough, is Secretary for Peterborough.
In 1878 the Diocesan Board of Education appointed a permanent
Sub-Committee to promote the efficiency of Sunday Schools. This Com-
mittee has circulated throughout the Diocese a statement on the general
subject, and has prepared annually a syllabus of New Testament lesson.^.
In this Diocese there is g^reat difficulty in obtaining a due supply of
competent teachers.
The improvement of Middle Class Schools, and inclusion of them in
the educational system of the Church, would probably do more than
anything else to remedpr this- defect.
A special examination of voluntary Sunday School teachers was held
for the first time in November 1884. The results of the experiment
justify the hope that it may prove to be of no small value.
There are several local associations of teachers. Cards have been
issued, signed by the Bishop and the parochial Clergymen, to teachers
duly qualified.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. H. C. Powell, Wylye
Rectory, Bath.
A Society was formed in the year 1882, called the St. Albans Dio-
cesan Sunday School Society, the objects and methods of which were
detailed in the Ykar-Book for 1884.
Archdeaconry of Essex and Colchester. — The fifth annual festival of
the Essex branch was held last year on July 15 at Halstead, when in the
place of the anthem Stainer's Cantata ' The Daughter of Jairus ' was
performed by the choir, assists by members of the London Lay Helpers
Association. The sermon was preached by the Rev. H. Montagu Villiers.
There have also been successful meetings of Ruridecanal Societies at
Mistley, Birch and other centres.
Cards with the Bishop's signature have been issued to teachers in
union with this Society, and for the last four years a syllabus of lessons
has been published.
In union with this Society there are about 1*2 ruridecanal or district
associations, making in all some 146 parishes affiliated to the Diocesan
Society'.
For several vears an examination of selected Sunday scholars has
been conducted by Dr. Hill of Stanway. Last year 105 candidates were
entered for examination at seven centres, when 7*1 children passed success-
fully, 24 obtained honour certificates, and 7 obtained prizes.
Information connected with the work of the Society in the Arch-
deaconries of Essex and Colcheter may be obtained from the Rev. W. J.
Packe, FeeringR Vicarage, Kelvedon.
Archdeaconry of St, ^/&in«.— The Association for the Archdeaconry
continues to watch for opportunities of assisting the extension and
development of the Sunday School system. During the past year atten-
tion was mainly devoted to arranging a series of Devotional Services for
Sunday School* Teachers, which proved of the greatest service.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. Frederick Bumside,
Rector of Hertingfordbury, Hertford.

Description
DioceuLH Board of Education, — ^Tbe Diocesan inspector is prepared
to examine Sunday schools. Twenty schools have been, more or le^s,
thoroughly examined in the year 1886, as against 15 in 1^5.
A syllabus of instruction for Sunday Schools is issued annually, being
an extract from that in use in the day sdiools, so that the two schools may
co-operate each year in the same work. This syllabus is circulated
throughout the Diocese, and is doing something (it is believed) to promote
systematic teaching in Sunday Schools. The Diocesan Board of Educa-
tion awards honour certificates to Sunday scholars who pass a satisfac-
tory examination (partly in writing and partly vivd voce) before the
inspector, in the Sunday School syllabus. Thirty-four scholars have
gained certificates in 1886, as against 17 in 1885. On the whole, the
work of the Diocesan Board of Education in connection with Sunday
schools is a growing one.
Archdeaconry of Brecon, — On June 15, 52 scholars from Glascwm,
Newchurch, ana Birngwyn, met in the parish church of Bryngwvn, to
be catechised by the Diocesan inspector. Tea and sports followed.
This is an annual gathering.
Archdeaconry of Cardigan, — Gatherings of Sunday Schools are held
annually in several centres, for examination in a pre\'iou8ly prepared sub-
ject.
Archdeaconry of Carmarthen, — ^A Teachers* Association exists for Car-
marthen and the neighbourhood. Two meetings are held in the year, one
in English and one in Welsh, at which papers are read and discussions
take place. lion. Sec Rev. J. Lloyd, Vicarage, Llanpumpsaint, Car-
marthen.
Archdeaconry of St DavuTi, — ^The Teachers* Association for the
Deanery of Dungleddan has held its usual two annual meetings during
the 3''ear 1886. At each a paper was read and a model lesson given, and
at the latter the members attended a service in Church, and a sermon was
addressed to them. The AssociaUoti has now concluded the second year
of its existence, giving much to be thankful for, but still more to be
hoped. Hon. Sec Rev. I. Gray Lloyd, M.A., F.S.A., Wiston Vicarage,
Haverfordwest.
In the Welsh district, in the north of the Archdeaconry, the * pwnc *
still flourishes. The ' pwnc * is an examination of Sunday scholars in a
prepared subject. Several schools often meet together for this purpose
The Diocesan Committee is entrusted with the general superintendence
of all Church Sunday School work in the Diocese It consists of a Clergy-
man and a layman elected by each of the Decanal Conferences, with
other members added by the Diocesan Conference.
A syllabus of five courses of lessons is drawn up annually. An exami-
nation of teachers (^advanced and elementary') is held twice a 3'ear, and
certificates ore granted. One hundred and one teachers were examined
in 1886.
The object of the examinations is not to afford a single test of suffi-
cient proficiency, but rather to act as an encouragement to a continuout
course of study.
Fifty-nine teachers have already completed their number of six passes,
which entitles to the Bishop's certificate ; thirteen teachers have obtained
the full certificate for twelve passes.
The Diocesan Committee is also empowered to meet in 12 Ruridecanal
sections, each section comprising the resident members of the Diocesan
Committee, and other members added by the Decanal Conference.
Meetings of Sunday school teachers from one or more Deaneries have
been held this year in eleven out of twelve deaneries. At these meetings
model lessons have usually been given, or papers have been read. Amongst
the subjects discussed may be mentioned the following : — * The Sunday
School in reference to the Day School,* * Sunday School Reform,* • Bad
boys, and how to treat them,*^ « Rewards and Discipline,' * Catechising
or addresses, which is best for the children,* * The teaching of the Cate-
chism,* * The Sunday School regarded as the feeder to Confirmation/

The total number of children on the books of Sunday Schools in the
Diocese from the returns made to the * Diocesan Kalendar, 1886/ is com-
puted at 19,650, being an increase of 378 over the number returned in
the preceding year.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. F. J. Bone, Stratton
Vicarage, North Devon.
The Diocesan Church Education Society provides a ' Prize Scheme '
examination for senior scholars (over fifteen), and for Junior scholars
under fifteen, who are not day scholars.
The prizes are annually presented in the Chapter House at Worcester,
on the Saturday in Easter week.
" The Diocesan Inspectors inspect Sundav Schools when desired.
There is an annual festival for the Arcbdeaoonry of Wbraester in tbe
Cathedral, and the Chapter House is ^nted for a Conference. For the
expenses of the festival a special grant is made by the Board of Education.
In order to provide for the encouragement and improvement of Sunday
Schools the Board of Education will, if desired by the parochial Clergv,
provide lecturers to give lessons and addresses to teachers at certMn
selected centres in the several rural deaneries.
The object of such lectures is to encourage and help Sundav School
teachers in the method and matter of their work, especially with a view
to the S3rstematic teaching of the Catechism and the rest of the Book of
Common Prayer, as well as of the Holy Scriptures.
The Board will also hold an annual examination of such Sunday School
teachers as are willing to present themselves through their respective
Clergymen in the several parishes, in order to obtain a certificate signed
by the Bishop. The first examination took place on Saturday, March 27,
when 53 persons presented themselves for examination at 13 different
centres. Out of the 53, only 3 failed to satisfy the examiner.
Many of the papers reached a high standard of merit, and were the
work of clever and cultured minds.
The future examinations are appointed to take place annually on the
third Saturday in Februarv. All communicants recommended by their
parish Clergyman, not being certificated, acting, or pupil teachers, are
admissible as Candidates.
These suggestions are framed to meet a widespread desire that teachers
should coDtinue,with increasing definitencss, to prepare the children in the
schoolroom and elsewhere for catechetical instruction.
Mem. — On August 5, the annual meeting of the Sunday School
teachers of the Archdeaconry of Worcester was held at Stratford-on-Avon.
The Conference was preceded by a service in the Church. An
address was ^ven by the Rev. G. Arbuthnot, Vicar of Stratford-on-Avon.
Information may be obtained from the Rev. E. J. Houghton, Blocklcy
Vicarage, MoretOn-in-Marsh, Hon. Secretary.
SECTION UL— HIGHER EDUCATION.
In the Year-Book for 1884 (p. 185) an endeavour was made to trace
the extent of the existing provision for higher education based upon the
principles and teaching of the Church of England. The Report com-
prehended a Tabular Record of Church of England Schools for Boys and
Girls. The Council of the Church Schools Company is in a position to
report such progress as will afford encouragement for the complete
success of the movement. The following pages will enable the reader to
gather some idea of the existence and working of the several orranisa-
tions which are endeavoaring to compass the edacation of a class of
society which manifestlj presents so manj and strong claims to the care
and guidance of the Church.
ST. NICHOLAS COLLEGE AND ITS SCHOOLS.
Origin. — In 1848 the Bey. N. Woodard, seeing the necessity that existed for the
oducation of tlie middle classes, formed a plan to found a toeiety of men, united as
fellows of a college or collies, to build, endow, and carry on schools for the upper,
middle, and lower middle classes.
Organisation. — This society of men, professionally devoted to the cause of educa-
tion, has been in existence now for many years. In addition to the fellows there
are associates, men who have been trained in these schools as masters ; probationary
associates, who are preparing for their teachers* certificates; and servitors. The
government of the whole rests with the provost and fellows, who transact their
business in chapters and college meetings. The Society is not yet incorporated, but
it is enrolled to promote education among the middle classes in the principles of the
Church, whose doctrines must be taught unfettered by any conscience clause. It is
proposed to found five central colleges, each under the rule of a provost and fellows.
Two of these central colleges are in existence, SS. Mary and Nicholas Lancing in the
South, and SS. Mary and John of Lichfield for the Midland district Each of these
colleges is to embrace a series of schools of three grades, with three corresponding
grades of charges.
The following table shows briefly the object and work of these schools.

CEimCH OF EHOLAVB HIGH SCHOOL FOB 0IBL8 COXFANY LDCITED.
This Ck>mpany was formed in 1877 in order to provide an education for girls in
aooordance with the principles and teaching of the Church of England. This work
is being carried on with the entire sympathy of the Bishop of I^ndon and by the
active operations of an influential committee. The Bev. Canon Holland is acting as
chairman. Two schools have been opened, one in the neighbourhood of Regent s
Park, and the other in the neighbourhood of Eaton Square, in which about 320 girls
are under education, besides 100 children in the Kindergarten department.

CHXTBCH SCHOOLS COMPANT, LIMITED.
The Church Schools Company dates its legal existence from July 1883, and was in-
augurated at a public meeting in Willis's Rooms, with the Archbishop of Canterbury
in the chair, who warmly commended the movement on the following lines : — That
the object should be to establish for boys and girls above the class attending ele-
mentary schools, schools of various grades, providing at a moderate cost a thoroughly
efficient education in accordance with the principles of the Church of England, the
right of withdrawing a scholar in the day schools from religious instruction being
reserved to the parent or guardian. That, where practicable, local committees should
be formed to support and assist the Central Ck)uncil in the management of each
school. That the schools should be annually examined both in religious and secular
knowledge by representatives of the Universities, or of King's College, London, or by
other competent persons appointed by the Council.
The Company conmienced active work in the establishment of schools at the
beginning of January, 1884, when the first school was opened under its auspices at
Surbiton, for girls. There are now 12 schools in operation. The preponderance of
gills* sdiools is due to the fact that far more ample provision is found to exist for the
education of boys of all classes than for girls.
Altogether the number of pupils receiving education under the Company's manage-
ment is over 900, and in nearly every case the schools established maintain a steady
increase of pupils each term.
The share list now numbers 9,306 shares, representing nearly half the nominal
capital of 100,0002.
It is a principle of the Company not to undertake the establishment of a sdiool
unless a certain proportion of the capital required is subscribed in the locality
interested.
The number of appeals that have been received from different parts of the country
for the establishment of such schools would seem to denote a real want, and to justify
the new effort to assist in meeting it.
In addition to the schools alr^idy established or contemplated by the Company,
it is worthy of notice that there have arisen, as an indirect result of its action, several
fresh and independent efforts by others in a like direction.
The following is a table showing the number of schools which have been opened

THE FOREIGN MISSION WORK OF THE CHURCH.
SECTION L— CENTRAL AND SPECIAL ORGANISATIONS.
SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL
IN FOREIGN PARTS.
A SHOBT historical accoant of the origin and growth of this Society has
been furnished in previoas volames of this Book, so that it is unnecessary
to refer again to this subject.
It is well known that the objects of the Society are : (1) To receive,
manage, and dispose of funds contributed for the religious instruction of
our fdlow-countrymen beyond the seas ; (2) to provide a sufficient main-
tenance for an orthodox Clergy to live among them ; (8) to make other
provision for the Propagation of the Gospel in those parts.
Larger than that of any previous year, by nearly 0,000/., was the income for the
Society's General Fund for the year 1885. While the main Increase in the Society's
General Fund has been in the very fluctuating item of legacies, there has been,
nevertheless, a thankworthy increase of 563Z. under the more important item of
collections, subscriptions, and donations. The following are the details : —
1. Oeneral Fund.— Collections, subscriptions, and donations, 78,0062. 8t. \d.;

Summary of Work.— Offers of 33 volunteers for work in foreign parts have been
considered by the Board of Examiners, appointed by the Archbi^ops of Canterbury
and York and the Bishop of London, during the past year, and 1 6 gentlemen have
gone forth to their respective spheres of work.
The number of ordained Missionaries, Including 10 Bishops, now on the Society's
list, is 575. They are distributed as follows : 166 are labouring in Asia, 142 in Africa,
15 in Australia and the Pacific, 195 in North America, 31 in the West Indies, and 26 in
?!)uropc. Of the totul 325 arc ministering to English-speaking people, and 250 are
working among the heathen. Of the latter number 100 are native clergymen. There
are also in the various missions of the Society about 1,700 catechists and lay
teachers, mostly natives, and about 350 students in the Society's colleges.
248 persons were added to the list of incorporated members during the year 1885.
The following is a very brief summary of the work of the Society in all parts of
the world : —
I. ASIA. — Calcutta. — The Missions in this Diocese are in four groups — (a) Assam ;
(b) Bengal ; (c) Chota Nagpore ; (d) North- West Provinces. Of the 41 ordained
Missionaries, 26 are Natives. During the year Mr. Endle, of the Assam Mission,
l^ublished a grammar of the Eachari, or, as it should strictly be termed, the Bara
language.
^ocieft! for flje propagation of t^c Utospel. 209
The Chota Nagpore Mission now numbers 13,292 baptized persons, besides 506
catechumens. There are now 6,023 communicantii in this interesting field. The
16 native Clergy are entirely supported by their flocks.
Lahore. — The Bishop of Lahore, in the course of his fourth visitation, spent ten
days in Delhi in the spring of 1885. His Lordship, in reporting on his visit, said: —
•There is such steady growth in the various departments of this great Mission
that the ordinary space of time allowed for a Bishop's visitation is wholly insufficient
to meet the requirements of the case : and a Bishop, though he were the strongest
and ablest, must be embarrassed by the multitude of interesting and important works
into which his inspection must distribute itself.'
The Rev. T. Williams is continuing his important work at Rewarri.
Bangoon. — In the city of Rangoon, St. John's College, under the management of
the Rev. Dr. Marks, maintains its high educational character. It has on its rolls
nearly 600 boys, and as a result of its twenty-one years of work * St. John's boys*
are doing well in all parts of the countrj', and are ever willing to help their old
school, to which they owe so much.
The Rev. J. Fairclough, who is in charge of the Mission at Kemmendine, a popu-
lous suburb of Rangoon, and of the Training Institution, which is the apex of the
graduated educational establishments of the Diocese, reports that there are in the
Institution at present 8 students, of whom 6 are Karens.
The great interest of Indian Missions centres at the present time in Burma. It
was by the foresight of Bishop Cotton that this portion of the mission field was
assigned to the Society more than twenty years ago, and now by the royal proclama-
tion of January 1st, 1886, Upper Burma, a country larger in area than Great
Britain and Ireland, and containing a population of 4,000,000 souls, has been added
to the British Empire. It was at the end of 1879 that the Rev. J. A. Colbeck, who
had bravely maintained his position as the Society's Missionary at Mandalay, was at
length compelled to leave that city. On December 22, 1885, he re-entered it. In
that month the Bishop had telegraphed to the Society for 3 additional Missionaries.
The Society has been enabled to send them. One is a Mr. F. W. Sutton, a medical
man who has left his practice in England for missionary work, and another is a
brother of Mr. Colbeck. The latter on reaching Mandalay was allowed to take pos-
session of the premises, and found them in better condition tlian he expected. The
font given by Her Majesty the Queen had been moved, and some small marble pillars
are missing, but the Bishop uas undertaken that these shall be supplied, and the font
be reverently replaced in its original position.
Kadras. — The Missions are in three groups — (a) Tinnevelly and Ramnad ; (b)
Trichinopoly and Tanjore ; (c) Madras, Arcot, the Telngu country, and Hyderabad.
There are 43,278 baptized Christians in the Society's Missions, besides 13,344 cate-
chumens. The communicants number 13,040. Of the 55 Clergy 40 are natives. In
Tinnevelly the Nazareth Mission, under tlic Rev. A. Margoschis and 3 native Priests,
is steadily progressing in prosperity. The Christians are seeing and acknowledging
the necessity of depending less and less upon money received from outside, and of
becoming self-supporting and independent of others. Five congregations provide
the whole of the salaries of their catechists and schoolmasters ; five more provide
three-fourths of the pay, and four others give half ; none are exempt from such pay-
ments. A few statistics of this Mission will show the growth that exists in some of
the South Indian Missions : —
1876 1885
Catechists, Readers, and Masters 31 57
Congregations 26 44
Baptized Persons 3,809 5,171
Communicants 742 1,401
Catechumens 523 895
The work of the Society in the Telugu country is one that at the present time
attracts unusual attention, partly because of its needs, and partly because of the
attempt to supply those needs. The great want in the Telugu country is native
pastors and trained teachers. There are at present 3,495 baptized Christians, and
2,265 catechumens. To minister to these there is not a single native pastor, and at
present but two European clergymen, with one Eurasian, and very few pro^il^

trained native lay teachers. There are many of the lower classes ready to come over,
bnt there are not the teachers to train them ; and to receive them without proper
teachers is simply to introduce what must be a weakness to the Church of Christ.
The Bishop of Madras wrote some time ago :~'The number of inquirers is consider-
able ; but it would be far larger if tlierc were an adequate number of native teachers.
I fear the deficiency must continue to be felt till the Nundyal Institution has been
in operation for a few years/
At present direct evangelistic work in the Telagu country is quite beyond the
power of the two Missionaries who are now alone in the field. Their time is taken
up in the Nundyal Institution, the administration of the sacraments, and in minister-
ing to the native Church. The formation of a native clerical and trained lay staff
are the first things to be aimed at.
Bombay.— The Missions are in Bombay itself, at Dapoli, and Poonah, and in tljc
famous Ahmednagar and Kolhapur fields, from which most encouraging reports con-
tinue to be received.
Colombo. — The Diocesan Synod has been revived, and great efforts are being
made to secure the Church from injury by the withdrawal of State aid.
Singapore, Labutn, and Sarawak.— In the Straits Settlements the field is ever
widening, and at Singapore itself the Rev. W. H. Gomes carries on his polyglot
work, holding services for Chinese, Tamils, Malays, and Cinghalese. The Tamil
Deacon, the Rev. S. Balavendrum, reports several adult baptisms among hia own
people at Penang, and on the occasion of a Hindu heathen festival the new converts
accompanied him and the Mission agents, and, taking their place in the crowd, for
three days expounded to the people the simple truths of the Gospel and distributed
portions of the Holy Scriptures. On similar occasions in past years such appeals led
to frequent interruptions, but now the truth of Christianity is admitted although
Christianity be not itself embraced.
The work in the island of Borneo continues to extend, and demands more agents.
From Province Wellesley the Rev. H. M*D. Courtney reports that although local
support has considerably diminished, the income of the Mission has increased by the
enlarged grants which his excellent schooLs have earned from the Government.
Vorth China. — The two Missionary centres in this Diocese are at Peking and
Chef 00. Bishop Scott and his small band of helpers continue their arduous work.
Japan. — Bishop Bickersteth was consecrated on February 2nd, 1886, in succession
to Bishop Poole and has thro^-n himself into the work. He is anxious to establish a
l^lissionary brotherhood similar to that at Delhi, and the Society has made a grant to
enable him to carry out this plan.
The Rev. A. Lloyd is appointed by the Japanese Government Professor in tlie
Royal Naval College, a position which increases liis already wide influence. Now, i f
ever, is the opportunity for the English Church to be the instrument for evangelising
Japan.
n. APBICA.— Province of Soath Africa.— The eight Dioceses of this Province arc
those of the mainland with St. Helena. In all of them the Society's work is pro-
minent. 122 of the Clergy are its Missionaries, over 40 of them being Missionaries to
the heathen. The Bishop of Bloemfontein (Dr. Kniglit-Bruce) has reache<l his Diocese.
The Bishop of Zululand reports the revision of the translation of the Prayer-book.
Bishop Bransby Key has t>ecome Bishop of St. John's by the resignation of the Vener-
able Bishop Callaway.
Manritini. — Good work continues to be done among the Indian coolies.
ICadagaicar. — The new Station Mahanoro promises to be a great success. Con-
siderable translation work has been produced by the Rev. F. A. Gregory and the
staff at the College.
m. AUSTRALASIA.— Aajtralia.— After ninety 3 ears of careful nurture, and an
expenditure of more than 226,000/., the Society's aid is restncte<l to the Dioct-sos of
Sydney, North Queensland, and Perth, and to the unsettled regions en the north (if
the Continent. In Perth there are enormous fields of work among gold-diggers, a^'ri-
cultural settlers, and not least the aborigines.
Fyi, Korfolk Island, and Honolulu.— The Society makes grants to these distant
islands towards the support of the Clergy.
lY. BRITISH KORTH AXEBICA.— On the work in British North America the
Society has spent nearly one million and three quarters sterling, in addition to
^ocicfn for l^e ^topaqaiion of tf)e ^ospcL 211
nearly a quarter of a million spent daring the last century in the colonies which
became the United States.
At the present time there are one thousand Clergy in British North America.
The nineteen Dioceses fall into foor divisions, consisting of the three eoclesiastical
ProTinoes of the Dominion, with Newfoondland, which civilly, as well as ecclesiasti-
cally, is isolated.
The three Provinces are : that of Canada, which has nine Dioceses ; that of
Bapertsland with six ; and that of Columbia with, three.
Prorinee of Ganada. — This includes the Missionary Diocese of Algoqaa, which is
largely helped by the Society, and eight other Dioceses, of which Quebec and Frede-
ricton have to straggle with much poverty. Four Dioceses are now independent of
the Society's aid. In addition to renewing the annual grants to these five Dioceses
to the extent of 6,367/., the Society has voted 500/. towards the endowment of the
See of Algoma.
ProTinee of Bapertsland. — The rapid settlement of the country continues, and the
Dioceses of Rupertsland, Qu*Appelle, and Saskatchewan continue their efforts to be
equal to the demands made upon them. The death of Bishop McLean is a heavy
loss. His work since his consecration as first Bishop of Saskatchewan has been mar-
vellous. The Society has g^ven considerable sums towards the endowment of the See
of Qa*Appelle ; the fund now reaches 6,000/. The annual grants to these Dioceses
amount to 3,962/.
Prorinee of Colombia. — The Society helps the Dioceses of New Westminster and
Caledonia, embracing Colonial and Missionary work.
VewfDiiBdlaad.— The Society's grant of 2,900/. helps to support 40 out of 61
Clergy in this poor Diocese.
Y. THE WEST IKDIE8, AND SOUTH AKEBICA.— To the six Dioceses of the
Province the Society affords valued aid, that to Jamaica being for the work on the
Panama Isthmus. The interesting Mission work among the Indian and the Coolies
in Guiana continues its growth. In addition to 2,670/. in annual grants, the Society
has voted 600/. to be spread over three years in work in the Windward Islands, which
are suffering from the withdrawal of State aid, and 500/. towards completing the
endowment of the See of Antigua.
YL BUEOPE. — In augmentation of its grant of 200/. a year for the Continent,
the Society has voted 300/. to be spent in three years.
LADIES' ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION OF
FEMALE EDUCATION IN INDIA AND OTHER HEATHEN
COUNTRIES.
(In Connection with the Missions op the Society for the
Propagation op the Gospel.)
I. Object!. — The objects of the Association are— (1) To provide female teachers
for the instruction of native women and children in the missions of the Society ;
(2) To assist female mission schools by providing suitable clothing, and a maintenance
for boarders. To carry out these objects funds are raised in England by establishing
iSranch Associations throughout the country for collecting subscriptions, care being
taken that no Association shall divert or interfere with subscriptions to the Society.
II. Administration. — The funds thus raised arc administered by a committee of
ladies, aided in their deliberations by two members of the Standing Committee of
the S.P.G., and by the Secretary of the Society. Total receipts in 1884, 6,837/.
Expenditure, 6,287Z.
m. Progresa of the Association.— In 1867 the first teacher was sent out to Mada-
gascar, and in the following year two ladies went out to join the Delhi Zenana
Mission (which had been commenced by Mrs. Winter about two years previously),
and a schoolmistress was sent to Burmah. In 1869 the work of the Association was
e::tended to South Africa. Zenana Missions were gradually established, at Calcutta
in 1870, Bombay in 1871, Cawni^re in 1872, Madras in 1^70, Ahraednagar iu \?>S(\,
V 1
2 1 2 ^ocicf B for t^c ^ropttgttf iott of l^e (^os)>eL
Roorkee and Kolapore in 1881, and at Tanjore in 1882. Schools also were opened or
assisted with grants in South Africa, Madagascar, and Japan.
lY. Present Operationi.— In the Zenana Missions at Ahmednagar, Bombay, Dapoli,
Kolapore, Calcutta, Cawnpore, Delhi, Roorkee, Madras, and Tanjore, about 2,000 pupils
are under instruction. In addition to the pupils in the Zenanas, and in the schools
connected with the Zenana Missions, about 1,250 girls are being taught in the schools
connected with the Ladies' Association in Burmab, Japan, Madras, Madagascar, and
South Africa, and 180 are maintained and educated in S.P.G. schools at the expense
of members of the Association. One hundred and forty-fiye teachers are now on the
list of the Association. Between 200 and 300 English working parties oontribate
a large quantity of work and native clothing, which enables the Association to send
out in the course of the year about thirtv-tive large and valuable boxes to various
missions in India and South Africa.
Full information about the missions and proceedings of the Ladies* Association
will be found in their monthly Magazine, * The Grain of Mustard Seed.'
Commnnications should be addressed to the Secretary, Ladies' Asso-
ciation, S.P.G., 19 Delahaj Street, Westminster.
CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
In Marcli the Society lost its President, the Earl of Chichester, after fifty-
one years' active service in that office. Captain the Hon. F. Uande, B.N.,
Treasnrer, was appointed President, bat he, too, died in October. Sir T.
Powell Baxton, Bart., has accepted the office of Treasurer; bot the new
President is not yet appointed.
**« The receipts of the year ending March 31 were— Ordinary Income, 201»237^, or
3,025^ more than 1884^, and 835/. more than the highest amount ever before re-
ported. In addition, 30,982/. was received on account of various special funds. The
Ordinary Expenditure was 211,992/., which, after allowing for the portion chargeable
to the Bxtension Fund, left a deficit on the year of 7,370/. Almost the whole of this
was wiped off by special gifts within three weeks of its being announced.
The year was marked by much development of home organisation, and efforts to
stir up a more vigorous missionary spirit. In London, in addition to the * Lay Workers*
Union for London,' with its 300 members, two new Unions have been established,
viz., the * Ladies' Union for London,' which has already enrolled over 600 members,
and the * Union of Younger Clergy for London,' which has now 200 members. The
members of these three Unions have frequently gathered in large numbers at the
Society's House, for conference, lectures, &c. Nearly fifty such gatherings have been
held, including some meetings of Sunday-school teachers, m^cal students, civil
servfimts, and bank clerks respectively. A * Gleaners' Union for Prayer and Work '
has lately been started, which has enrolled 2,000 members in the first five months.
In February, Simultaneous Special Missionary Meetings were held in all parts of
England and Wales, about 800 in all, within one week. Nearly 200 clergymen and
laymen acted as special deputations on this occasion. In several towns, the meetings
were reported to have been the largest and most stirring ever held in the neighbour-
hood.
Twenty-six can4idates for missionary service were accepted during the year
ending May 1, thirteen for training, and thirteen ready to go out. Of the latter, five
were graduates and four ladies.
THE WORK OF THE TEAB.
Africa: West— The Native Christian communities at Sierra Leone and Lagos
continue to flourish as regards external organisation. About 5,000/. is raised by them
yearly for their own Church objects. Sierra Leone sent two of its clergy as a depu-
tation to England to obtain fiurther help. Fourah Bay College has much revived
under the Rev. F. Nevill. Special Parochial Missions were conducted at both Sierra
Lcono and I^pfos by two Knjylish clcreymon from the ClinrcJi TarocJiial Mission
^^urcl^ ^issiottars ^octets- 213
Socket with crowded congregations and mnch apparent blessing. Bishop Ingham
has oidained two more Africans, making about seventy from the first. On the Niger
Buhop Growther labours as assiduously as ever. A new Henry Venn mission steamer
has iMen sent out. Linguistic work in the various Niger languages is vigorously
fnrosecQted, chiefly by the African Archdeacon, the Yen. Henry Johnson, upon whom
Gambridge has lately conferred an honorary M.A., the first to a native of Africa.
Afriea : East and Central. — The chief event of the year was the murder of Bishop
Hannington. After ordaining two African deacons and two English priests, and
eonfirming thirty-three African converts (freed slaves) at Frere Town, he started in
July 1886 for Uganda, taking a new route only previously traversed by the traveller
Thomson. The dangers of this journey were much feared, but they were success-
fully OTeroome, and the Bishop reached the borders of Uganda safely ; but there he
was seized and cruelly put to death, probably on October 29, by order of Mwanga,
the young King of Uganda, who had taken alarm at the rumours of German annexa-
tions, and objected to a white man approaching by the new route, the ' back door ' to
his country. In June 1886 a terrible persecution broke out in Uganda, and some
fifty converts were tortured and pat to death by firo and sword. Yet the applica-
tions for baptism hare not oeased, and twenty were baptized within a month of the
massacre. Translations of Scripture portions, hymns, and prayers, have been
printed by thousands and circulated. In September only one missionary, Mr.
Mackay, remained in Uganda.
At the intermediate stations in Usagara, Unyamwezi, &c., ten missionaries are
faithfully labouring ; and a few converts were baptized in the year. On the coast,
at Mombasa and Babai, extensive work is going on ; and a new outpo&t has been
oocnpied in Chagga, at the foot of Mount Kilima-Njaro. The Rev. H. P. Parker, M. A .,
one of the Society's missionaries in India, and late chaplain to the Bishop of
Calcutta, has been consecrated to the vacant bishopric in Eastern Equatorial Africa.
Bgypt, Palestine, Persia, %tt, — These missions to Mohammedans have been rein-
forced by five additional missionaries, making 17 in all, and providing for four medical
missions, at Gasa, Baghdad, Ispahan, anl Aden, the last-named being a station
newly oconpied this year. General Haig has been on an exploratory visit to the ports
on the Red Sea, to inquire into the possibility of missionary efforts both in Arabia
and the Soudan, for which latter field 2 JOO/. has been contributed to the Gordon
Memorial Fund.
India.— Ten new missionaries have been sent to the Society's Indian stations, five
of them graduates, but the need of reinforcements, especially for important posts in
high schools and divinity colleges, is still great. From nearly all parts the reports
are enoonraging. The total of adult baptisms in 1865 was 1,680, of which 574 were
in Tinnevelly, 800 in Travancore and Cochin, and 236 in the Telugu Mission. The
largest number at any one station was at Aurangabad, where the Rev. Ruttonji
Nowroji baptized 255 converts.
All branches of missionary work are carried on at the 89 stations occupied in
India by 126 European missionaries, 132 native cleigy, and 2,107 native lay teachers
of various grades. In Calcutta the most varied methods of evangelisation have been
prosecuted among all classes, from the educated babu to the scavenger and the leper.
In the Leper Asylum there were baptisms, making 50 in the last 20 years. In the
Krishnagar district, systematic itineration is not only winning converts, but rousing
the 6,000 native Christian villagers from a very dull spiritual state. In Santalla,
where there are 3,000 native Christians, special < Mission Services ' have been held
for their benefit, and much useful translational work is going on. In the great cities
of the North-West Provinces, the numerous important institutions have been well
worked, particularly St. John's College at Agra, the Divinity School at Allahabad,
the Female Normal School at Benares, the Lucknow High School, the Secimdra
Orphanage, &c. The Gond Mission is being developed and extended, and is winning
converts. The Bheel Mission is beginning to reach the timid and ignorant moun -
taineers. On the plains of the Punjab prospects are most encoupging. ' Never before,'
writes one missionary of experience, * have I seen the country so full of the fairest
promises of a coming rich harvest.' The Medical Mission at Amritsar is extending
into the villages. A remarkable movement has begun among the Chuhras, a low-caste
aboriginal people, and hundreds are being received into the Church. In Kashmir, the
214 ^f)Xttcf) ^issiottarg gocicfs*
terrible earthquake, like the famine of 1878, gave the missionaries many opportuni-
ties of showing forth the philanthropy of the Gospel. At the stations on the A^han
and Beluch frontiers, the fort is faithfully held, but progress is slow ; and the same
must be said of Sindh. The new mission at Quetta has been opened, but the senior
8indh missionary, Mr. Shirt, who went up to start it, has died, deeply lamented.
Bombay and the other stations in Western India sorely need reinforcement. The
bright spot there is Aurangabad, already mentioned.
In South India the organised native Christian communities are a leading feature.
In and around Madras, almost all the work, except the mission to Mohammedans, is
in native hands. Tinnevelly has celebrated the Jubilee of Bishop Sargent, and
recorded the fact that in 1835, when he went out, there were 8,693 Christian adhe-
rents in 224 villages, with one native clergyman ; while in 1885 there were 56,287 in
1,008 villages, with 68 native clergy. This is for C.M.S. districts only ; S.P.G. figures
would be additioniJ. In Travancore, Bishop Speechly has made the Rev. Koshi
Koshi the first native Archdeacon in India. The colleges at Cottayam, the mission
to the Hill Arrians, and the work at Trichur, have exhibited specially encouraging
features. The Telugu Mission, on the Kistna and Godavari rivers, is expanding
despite the failure of health of several missionaries. From the Noble High School
to the humblest village preaching, all is energetically worked. The South Indian field
generally is benefiting much by the William Charles Jones Fund, which assists the
native councils to maintain evangelists, and the F. R. Havergal Fund, which has
enabled several of Miss Havergal's works to be translated into two or more
languages.
Ceylon. — The senior missionary. Rev. W. Oakley, has died after fifty-one years'
service, unbroken by a single visit home. Progress is reported from all the stations,
especially Cotta and Jaffna, and from- the Tamil Coolie Mission. There were 130
adult baptisms. Many native Christians were confirmed by the Bishop of Colombo.
The Salvation Army has been a source of disunion and perplexity among the native
Christians in some districts.
Mauritias. — The smallest of the Society's mission fields, but an important work
is done among both Hindoo and Chinese coolies^ on the sugar estates. There were
99 adult baptisms in the year.
China. — In the southern provinces of Kwan-tnng and Fuh-Kien, the Gospel ceases
not to spread among the villages and towns of the interior ; but in the Che-Ejang
province, the Society's field in Mid China, progress is slower. The adult baptisms of
the year numbered 318. The most interesting features of the year were : — the suc-
cessful work of the Medical Missions, particularly at Hang-chow, where a large new
hospital has been opened ; the earnest evangelistic efforts of the Chinese Cfirlstian
students in the Ningpo College, who have formed themselves into a kind of Church
Army, under the guidance of the Rev. J. C. Hoare ; and the Native Mission to Corea,
organised by the Christians of Fuh-Kien. Remarkable testimony is borne to the
reality of the work of this and other Societies by Miss C. F. Gordon-Cumming,
in her recently published * Wanderings in China.'
Japan. — The late Bishop Poole has been succeeded by Bishop Edward Bickersteth,
who has been cordially received by the missionaries and native Christians, and pre-
sided in May over the Seventh Annual C.M.S. Conference. The Society's staff has
been strengthened by the return of missionaries who had been on furlough. There
were 98 adult baptisms in the year, raising the number of Christians to 519. The
first convert has been baptised from the Aino aborigines in Yezo. The new college
at Osaka is doing an important work.
New Zealand. — From Auckland Diocese, Archdeacon Clarke writes that he is
* thankful to give a brighter report than ever before.' ' Intemperance has practically
ceased, and the tavern-keepers complain that they get no custom.' * In nothing are the
Maoris behind other Churches.' Even the Hauhaus in the ' King Country ' are becom-
ing more friendly. From Waiapu Diocese Archdeacon Williams's report is not less
encouraging, relating mostly to meetings of native Church boards, openings of new
churches, &c. One of these new churches at Ohinemutu, which has a Maori clergy-
man and Maori churchwardens, is represented in the frontispiece to Mr. Froude's
' Oceana.' In Wellington Diocese Hauhauism still prevails, but among the Maori
Christians the temperance movement has done much good.
Vorth-West Ameriea. — In the five Dioceses of Moosonee, Rupert's Land, Sas-
katchewan, Athabasca, and Mackenzie River (three of which are almost wholly
supported by the Society), the work among the various tribes of Red Indians, and
among the Eskimo, has gone on prosperously, but the recently formed Missions to the
Blackfoot and Blood Indians of Saskatchewan have not reported visible fruit. At
Rampart House, the remotest of all the stations within the Arctic Circle and on the
borders of Alaska, a devoted young missionary, Mr. Sim, has died from exposure
and want of sufficient food, he having denied himself to feed the Indians of the
Tukudh tribe, 2,000 of whom are Christians. The recent death of the Bishop of
Saskatchewan is a gjeat loss to the Missions in that Diocese.
Korth Paeiflo. — The schism at Metlakatla continues, but a deputation (General
Touch and Rev. W. R. Blackett), sent out by the Society, has fully confirmed the
Committee in the justice of their policy in supporting Bishop Ridley and the Indians
of the Church of England against the seceded majority. The other Missions in the
interior of British Columbia and on Queen Charlotte*s and Vancouver's Islands are
progressing in a most encouraging way.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND ZENANA MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
The Church of England Zenana Missionary Society (in co-operation with the Church
Missionary Society) was formed in 1880, by those members of the Indian Female
Normal School and Instruction Society who thought that the work might be better
done by an exclusively Church Society. The object of the Society is * to make known
the Gospel of Christ to the women of the East in accordance with the Protestant and
Evangelical teaching of the Articles and formularies of the Church of England/ Its
affairs are conducted by a Committee in London ; its agents are Christian women
who seek to win their Eastern sisters to Christ by means of Zenana visitation,
medical missions, village missions, normal schools, Hindu and Mahommedan female
schools, llible-women, and the like. Besides one station in China, and one in
Japan, they have 39 stations iu the Dioceses of Calcutta, Madras, Lahore, Travan-
corc, and the missionary districts of Tinnevelly. The work in India is under the
direction of 4 corresponding committees for Calcutta, Madras, the Punjab, and
Travancore respectively, the llishop being in each case I^esidcnt. Tlie present
staff is 91 missionaries in home connection, 48 missionaries in local connection,
349 Bible-women and native helpers : 488 in all. There are between 500 and GOO
associations, formed in connection with the Society in England, Ireland, the Conti-
nent, Australia, Canada, &c. &c. The work is regarded as pre-eminently women's
work, and not only the agents abroad, but the President, Vice-Presidents, and
Committee are ladies. The results have been most encouraging. The number
of Hindu and Mahommedan houses open for Zenana visits is constantly on the
Increase. Village work, too, is developing continually. By the Society's school*
2i6 Zenana ^issiottars S^ocicfs*
many high-caste pupils arc reached, and a large number of Mohammedan as well
as Hindu diildren are trained in the Word of God. The Society*s agencies are
especially directed to female evangelisation, the Christianising the ladies of the
East, and the families of the upper classes. The income for the past year, exclusive
of the Capital Fund, has been 21,374/., as compared with 20,725/. in the year
preceding.

THE MISSIONARY LEAVES ASSOCIATION
Obioinated in the efforts of the friends of some missionaries of the C.M.S. to
assist them in their work. A monthly paper was first issued in 1868 as a means of
communication between missionaries of the C.M.S. and their friends at home. In
1870 an Association was formed, and took its title from the * Missionary Leaves *
which had been issued monthly.
The objects of the Association are to supply the missionaries and stations of the
C.M.8. with help in money and material towards such requisites as it is not in the
province of the Society to supply, but which aid nevertheless is found to be most
helpful in the various works undertaken by the missionaries. All the members of
the Committee are members of the C.M.S. Committee.
The Funds of the Association are expended upon the maintenance of children in
C.M.S. mission schools ; the erection of mission churches, schools, &c. ; the purchase
of the accessories of public worship, such as church furniture, bells, books, har-
moniums, &c. ; and towards Missionary Diocesan Funds, and other similar objects.
During -the last fifteen years the Association has received and forwarded contribu-
tions in money to the amount of 29,878/. and in goods to the value of 18,803/.
In the year 1885 the C.M.S. invited the Association to administer the funds
provided for 'Special Objects,' and to receive, pack, and forward goods intended for
particular mission stations. The work of the Association has thus been greatly
enlarged.
Information as to the wants of different mission stations and the best
way of rendering help, can be obtained on application to the Secretary,
H. O. Malaher, Esq., 20 Compton Terrace, Islington, N., to whom idl
communications should be addressed.
THE SOUTH AMERICAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
A FULL account of the various Mission stations having been given in the Year-
book of 1883 it will only be necessary to report progress.
The income of the Society for the past year amounts to 11,849/. 0«. 9d. Total
expenditure 13,815/. 14*. dd., involving sale out of Reserve Fund of 1,858/.
The work of the Society has been carried on with perseverance and considerable
success at the Southern Mission and on the East and West Coasts.
The Southern Mission is likely to be much developed by reason of the Rev.
Thomas Bridges, late chief of the Mission, having taken a large concession of land
from the Argentine Government, and settling his family upon it — giving a large
amount of industrial employment to the natives, and carrying on spiritual and educa-
tional work amongst them as before. The natives in this case will be principally of
the one tribe. The Argentine Government made a gift of Gable Island to Mr.
Bridges as a token of their great appreciation of his 30 years* labours amongst the
natives of Tierra del Fuego. Mr. Bridges has been over in England for a few
weeks, and has returned to Tierra del Fuego, taking with him Mr. E. C. Aspinall,
who has been appointed by the Committee to undertake spiritual work at the
Bonthem Mission.
The work amongst the seamen, ashore and afloat, at Pemambuco and Rio is a
$ottf]^ American ^issionarfi gJocicffi. 217
mofit bappy and prosperous one, Mr. Walker and Mr. Hooper proving themselves
most Mthfnl and zealous as friends of the English sailors — and of safiors of other
lands too.
The work at Rosario, under the Rev. G. M. S. Adams, is going on very well. The
schools are finished and in full work. The Rev. J. Dominquez is now assisting him
in the work amongst the Spanish population.
Satisfactory progress is also to be noted at Lota, Chaneral, Fray Bentos, the
Alexandra Colony, and Chupat.
The Bishop of the Falkland Islands is, as usual, active in the oversight of his
enormous Diooes^ travelling from station to station — to cheer or to correct — but
always to give fr^h life to the spiritual labours of his Clergy or Lay Missionaries
in their isolated posts, and under difficulties such as we little dream of in our own
land.

COLONIAL AND CONTINENTAL CHURCH SOCIETY.
The Colonial Church Society and the Newfoundland School Society were united on
January 1, 1851, and formed into the Colonial Church and School Society. The
present name was adopted on May 1, 1861.
The Newfoundland School Society was formed in the year 1823, with a view to
benefiting, in the first instance, the poor settlers in Newfoundland, who in point of
religious and moral instruction were in a most deplorable condition. The founders
of the Society then entertained the hope that, if God prospered the design, it might
in due time extend its operations to the other North American colonies. Its beneficial
effects were soon acknowledged on all sides, and in the sixth year of its existence an
attempt was made at further extension, and British North America was added to the
original designation. This design, however, was not practically carried into execiition
till the beginning of 1839, when the Society established its first school in Lower
Canada.
The Colonial Church Society was established on September 23, 1835, for the
purpose of sending Clergymen, Catechists, and Schoolmasters to the colonies of Great
Britain, and to minister to British residents in other parts of the world. It was
united, on January 1, 1851, with the Church of England School Society for Newfound-
land, and the two Societies were designated the Colonial Church and School
Society.
The amalgamation led to rapid growth of its means, and an extension of its
operations, and its name was changed again in 1861 to the Colonial and Continental
Chnrch Society.
The Society's present labours arc carried on in thirty Colonial Dioceses, situated
in British North America, India, Australia, and other parts of the world.
The following comparative statistics will sliow the progress of the Society since
the year 1861 : —
Agents employed.
ISol 1886
Clergymen 18 106
Schoolmasters, female teachers, and pupil teachers in training 83 137
101 2i3
The income for 1885-6 was 40,010/.
Montreal. — During the past year very considerable progress has been made
towards placing the Society's work in this Diocese upon a more permanent basis.
The heavy burden of debt, at one time amounting to nearly twenty thousand dollars,
is now little more than eight thousand, and this sum, it is hoped, will be paid off
in the near future.
The model school in Montreal has been very full during the year under the staff
of teachers.
2 1 8 Colonial and Continental ^l^urci^ $ociefi;.
French evangelisation is a difficult and discouraging effort at the best. The
people are blindly attached to their own faith. They are taught to hate Protestantisni,
and no sooner does one of them embrace the truth than he must either leave the
province, or stay to endure much persecution and obloquy ; yet signs are not wanUng
which speak hopefully for the future. Meanwhile the Mission affords an open door
to all who, dissatisfied with the Roman Communion, sock the ministrations of the
Gospel of Christ in their own tongue.
Quebec. — The Bishop of Quebec, in writing, says that the Society's grant, in con-
junction with another from the Diocesan Church Society, enables the local Committee
not only to keep the schools in operation in poor districts where they would other-
wise collapse, but to secure Christian influence and control in them.
Huron. — The mission field seems to be widening year by year, and new stations
are being opened out in all directions, taxing greaUy their limited means ; but the
spiritual wants are supplied in faith that God will move the hearts of His people to
devise liberal things for the support of His cause and the extension of His kingdom.
Samia India Misiion and Kettle Point. — The Rev. John Jacobs took charge
of this Mission in 1869. At that time there was not a single mission building
at Kettle Point. Now there is a handsome and commodious church, which is an
ornament to the Mission ; a school-house, where the children of the Mission are
taught ; and a comfortable and commodious teacher's house.
Diocese of Nova Scotia.— Some of the missions in this Diocese, now served by
only one missionary, are nearly as large as many dioceses in England. There is no
trouble to find work for missionaries in this province of Nova Scotia. The Committee
are continually receiving calls—' Make us a small grant, and we can get along ; ' * Help
us a little till we can get on our feet ; ' * We have been without a clergjrman for years
— send us some one.* Could but our friends and subscribers both in England and
elsewhere read the letters continually received, and see the work done by the mis-
sionaries, they would gladly contribute more, in order, to supply the pressing needs.
The Committee are doing all they can do, but not one half of what ought to be done.
It is very hard to refuse assistance where the case is so deserving, but they are
obliged to turn a deaf ear, and too often others step in and do for our brethren of the
Church that which we fail to do. Our Church has lost many — very many — of her
children by this means.
Newfoundland. — The number of scholars on the school registers during the past
year was 1,874, showing an increase of 85 over the numbers in 1884. Of these 556
attended the central schools in St. John's. A cliange has been made in the master-
ship of the boys' school here, which has led to a large addition of numbers, and a
marked improvement in the discipline and general efficiency of the school. There
were 42 pupil teachers in training at these schools during the twelve months ; 35 of
that number were sent by the Boards of Education, 23 hetving completed their term
and passed their examination have entered upon their duties as outpost teachers.
Fredericton. — It is now 34 years since an association in connection with this
Society was formed in the Diocese of Fredericton. When the Society commenced iis
operations there were about 40 clergymen in the province, and, according to the last
report of the Diocesan Church Society, there are now 77 with the Bishop and bis
coadjutor. The first agent sent out by the Society was a schoolmaster, who, after
working some time in this capacity, became disconnected, but is still engaged in
teaching in St. John's. The next agent was appointed to take charge of St. Mary's
Mission in 1858. Not less than 20 other clergymen have been associat<Hl with the
Society.
fiupertiland.— The Rev. Canon O'Meara, of St. John's College, Winnipeg, has
lately returned from inspecting two of the Society's missions. The fii*st mission he
visited was that of High Bluff and Poplar Point. *A clergyman is here working liard
amongst the people, visiting them frequently, and has most excellent congregations.
The parsonage is now in a good condition. Services are held on alternate Sundays at
Poplar Heights, some ten miles north of Poplar Point, and he is much encouraged by
the attendance at the services and the general interest taken in them.
Canon O'Meara also visited Minnedosa. The work here is going on very well.
The new church is a very neat and comfortable little building, and without any debt.
The new parsonage is very nearly complete. A service is held every alternate Sunday
at Neepawa, a flourishing town on the Manitoba and North-Westem Bailwa^, aomQ
Colonial anb ©oniin^ntal i^^utc^ ^ocUfg. 219
twenty miles from Minnedosa. The court-house is used for service, and affords a
very commodious place for worship.
Safkatchewan. — The Society's missionary is doing a good work in the town of
Prince Albert. There is a large number of young men in the town, and nearly 100
mounted police. These are most diligently visited, as well as other members of the
congregation.
Jamaica. — On account of drought, Jamaica has had an exceptionally trying time
during the past year. In many parts of the country people have had to travel eight
or ten miles for water, and those provisions which constituted not only the principal
food of the population, but also the income of vast numbers of small settlers, have
entirely failed.
The Bishop, in writing to the Committee, says they have more numerous diffi-
culties to overcome, but in spite of them all the work is continually being extended
and consolidated. The Bishop of Rochester has lately visited the island, and has
seen something of the work, and his presence has quite cheered and helped them.
Vaitan, Bf^amai. — The Society's correspondent in this Diocese writes : — * At the
close of the last year there were on the registers : Boys, 190 ; girls, 17C ; total 366.
The registers are frequently revised, so that no names are kept on them of children
who do not attend school a reasonable number of days in the month. The teachers
are regular and earnest in the discharge of their duties.
' I am very thankful for the good work that the schools are doing, and for the
efficient state in which they now are.'
XadrM. — The Committee arc glad to be able to report that the incumbent of
Christ Church, Madras, is much encouraged in his work. All is harmony in the
Church, the congregation being in full sympathy with him, and strengthening his
hands in all things.
Biverina. — ^The Rev. J. J. Harvey, who went out from England with the Bishop
of Biverina, is working well and methodically in a parish, the area of which would
astonish some English clergy. Batranald has a population of about 700, and with it
are joined the settlements of Euston — 55 miles to the west, with a population of 150
— and Clare, 80 miles north, with squatter stations scattered about. Mr. Harvey has
no clergyman nearer to him than 130 miles by road, while another clergyman at
Silverton is 160 miles from any other brother clergyman.
The Bishop writes that he enjoys his work, and has travelled about 3,500 miles in
his Diocese already.
Ballarat. — The Diocese of Ballarat is comparatively a new field for the Society's
efforts, for it was only two or three years ago that the Committee for the first time
were able to make a grant (still continued) to this large and sparsely populated
district.
It is therefore with more than usual interest that the progress of the work has
been watched by them, and they cannot but feel deeply grateful that they are able
to present the following reports, speaking, as they do, of difficulties met and over-
come by persevering effort.
Perth. — The actual area of the diocese over which the Bishop of Perth's jurisdic-
tion nominally extends is 1,000,000 square miles, of which 2,700 are private property,
250,000 leased, while 747,300 square miles are unoccupied.
Its coast line, from Cambridge Gulf on the northern frontier of Australia to Eucla
on its southern, is 3,000 miles in length. Its settlement, from the coast inland,
varies from 100 to 300 miles. A few years since, and long after the foundation of
the see, it was generally believed that this vast and almost semi-continental tract
was, for all useful purposes, limited well-nigh to the then settled portion, reaching
from Champion Bay on the western coast to King George's Sound on the southern,
and comprising an area of about (500 x 100) 50,000 square miles. Very recently,
liowever, large tracts of country bordering on the sea and extending far inland, equal,
if not superior, in pastoral capabilities, and probably in mineral wealth, to the settled
tlistricts, have been discovered from the south-eastern angle at Eucla to Cambridge
(<ulf at the North; and settlements are being made by local enterprise, and still
more largely by companies and squatters from the eastern colonies. The Gascoyne
district, with its new town site, Carnarvon ; the Nicol Bay district, with the towns of
Cossack and Roeboume ; the Kimberley district, with its town site, Derby, and the
last explored country, entered from Cambridge Gulf on the Otd aiad tYi^ o>i)Ci«t tma
220 Colonial anb §onlincnlal §f)uxch gfocicfB-
rivers, are all comparatively new districts, with a great pastoral, and probably
mineral, future before them. As each remote tract of land is discovered and occu-
pied, it turns what was but part of the nominal area of the see into a real accession
to its practical limits and imposes a new and enormous responsibility.
Aintterdam. — The Society's missionary at the Magdalene Island, in the Diocese
of Quebec, has recently been appointed to the chaplaincy.
Eggiichom. — Christ Church, Eggischom, near the H6tel Jungfrau, has been
built on one of the loftiest of the church sites in Europe, and is in the midst of some
of the most magnificent of the mountain and pastoral scenery of Switzerland.
It is more than 7,000 feet above the sea, and is seen far and wide from the
winding roads of the Furka Pass. Tbe ascent is made from the village of Fiescli,
which is nearly midway between the Rhone Glacier and Brigue. From its highest
point there is one of the most commanding and beautiful of the Swiss panoramas,
which embraces nearly fifty of the principal Alpine heights, the mountain lake
called the Marjelen Sea, which is often 150 feet in depth, and the Aletsch, which is
nearly 1 5 miles in length and several in width.
The dedication took place on the 12th Sunday after Trinity, and in tbe presence
of a large and representative congregation.
Pan. — Much regret has been caused to the Comm'ttee by the unavoidable resig-
nation, from contmued ill health, of the chaplain of Trinity Church, Fau, where he
ministered for more than twenty years. The Committee fully appreciate and endorse
the words of a neighbouring colleague, who writ<» : — * He never spared himself, but
has lived for his people, and at the advanced age of 79 has been enabled to give a
fresh and vigorous sympathy to those of every age — even the very youngest of his
flock.*
The Rev. J. H. Rogers has been appointed to succec<l him.
The only remaining feature to be noticed is the establishment of two or three
temporary chaplaincies in Norway, where the circumstances of last summer in other
parts of the Continent caused a considerable influx of English visitors. The Com-
mittee will continue to arrange for the conduct of services in those places in Norway
which may be found to be of chief resort.
The 83 summer chaplaincies on the Continent of Europe have been much appre-
ciated by English and American visitors, and have been entirely self-supporting.
All commnnications respecting the work of this Society should be
addressed to the Bey. D. Lancaster McAnallj, 9 Serjeants' Inn, Fleet
Street, B.C.
ANGLO-CONTINENTAL SOCIETY.
The Anglo-Continental Society, which was instituted in 1853 to be the handmaid
of the Church of England in her intercourse with the Continental Christians, has for
its objects —
1. To make the principles of the English Church known in the different countries
of Europe and throughout the world.
2. To help forward the internal reformation of national Churches and other
religious conmiunities, by spreading information within them, rather than by pro-
selytising from them.
3. To save men, whose religious convictions are already unsettled, from drifting
into infidelity, by exhibiting to them a purified Christianity, which they may be able
to embrace.
The work of the Society during the year has been chiefly carried on in Italy,
Germany, Switzerland, and France.
In Italy it has supported Count Campello and the other priests who have joined
tbe Reform movement in Rome. Count Campello was formerly Canon of St. Peter's,
and in the way of further ecclesiastical promotion, but he gave up his belief in Papal
doctrine, and consequently his position in the Papal Church. Excommunicated by
the Pope, he appealed to the late Archbishop of Canterbury, who accepted his appeal,
and recognised him as a priest in the Church of Christ, wrongfully excluded from com-
Jlnglo-^onfincnfal ^ociciB- 221
manioQ for maintaining Catholic truth. With the Archbishop's approval, the Bishop
of Long Island, who has charge of the American congregations on the Continent,
gave him Episcopal sanction and supervision, and he opened a chapel for those who,
like himself, had been driven or had withdrawn from the Church of Rome. Until
the end of 1885 the chapel was in the Via Gen ova. Borne, then it was removed to the
Vittorio Emanuele Piazza. Attached to it are large adult schools. Last year the
Society transmitted 3001. to Rome for the support of these refonners atd restorers.
It has also Issued a new edition of an Italian version of Bishop Cosin's treatise on the
' Religion, Discipline, and Rites of the English Church,' which it is believed may be
edifying to these young Italian National Churchmen.
In Germany an Old Catholic Theological Student has been partially supported at
the University of Bonn by a contribution of 10/. In Austria an Old Catholic clerg)*-
man at Ried has received 25/. from the Society through the hands of the President
of the Austrian Old Catholic Synod. To Switzerland 100/. has been sent — 40/. for
the support of Christian Catholic Theological students at Berne, and 60/. for other
needs of the Christian Catholic Church. Through the French fund 89/. has been ex-
pended in the maintenance of M. Loyson (P^re Hyacinthe) and two other reforming
priests. Communications have been kept up by correspondence or by personal
agency with many leading Continental Churchmen, from the Patriarch of Jerusalem
in the East, to Bishop Hamilton of Niagara and Dean Hale of Davenport in the
Western Hemisphere.
The Society is under the patronage of 52 bishops of the Anglican communion.
It has issued 200 publications in Latin, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German,
Swedish, Danish, Icelandic, Greek, Armenian, Russian, Arabic, and English. It has
about 5()0 members. Its income in 1885 was 1,569/.
A fuller description of the objects of the Society's work will be found in the
Yeab-Book for 1884 (p. 218).
Commanications should be made to the Rev. Canon Mejrick, Blickling
Rectory, Aylsham, Norfolk.
THE UNIVERSITIES' MISSION TO CENTRAL AFRICA.
The work of the Mission during 1886 has been marked by the completion and
equipment of the Church steamer, the ' Charles Janson,* upon Lake Nyaiia. This lake
is one of the chief sources of the slave trade, and its shores are thrdnged by multi-
tudes of many tribes. The lake is over 350 miles in length, but by means of the steamer
it is hoped that the staff of Clergy and laymen may be enabled to visit these people
and to settle many native teachers in the villages. The Mission has for many years past
received from the Queen*s Political Agent in Zanzibar slaves captured and set free by
English cruisers ; about half of those slaves arc from the Nyassa region.
The education of the younger of these slaves has had in view the raising up of a
native ministry, and some three or four have been ordained, but several others are
properly qualified as teachers and catechists, and will now realise the long-cherished
hopes and plans of the Mission, by serving as centres of education and patterns of
life to those from whom they were once carried away to the coast as slaves.
The* Mission has established itself on an island of Lake Nyassa, situated about
12^ S. lat., and called Lukoma. This island is found to be healthy, and is to serve as
a rendezvous to those engaged in the work along the shores of the lake.
Bishop Smythies has travelled on foot to the chiefs of the tribe locaicd towards
the N.E. end of Lake Nyassa — the Gwangwara — to open formal negotiations with
them, with a view to some members of the Mission settling in their midst. This tribe
lives by the plunder of the others located along the E. shores of the lake, and it is
hoped that Christians settled among thorn may induce them to plant their own corn
and rear their own cattle. The Uev. G. H. Swinny and Mrs. Swinny (the sister of
the Bishop of Zululand) have volunteered for this dangerous station, and wc believe
have already gone to live there.
The Kev. Chauncy Maples, for many years known through his work in the Rovnma
District, has gone to take chai^o of the work on the lake.
222 "gltmoeirsifies' fission to ^mtxal Jlfrtca.
esides the Clergy, the work on the lake is now furnished with a Brixham master
lishcrman, an engine-fitter, a carpenter, and other laymen.
The Rev. W. P. Johnson, to whom belongs the credit of what is now doing on
Lake Nyassa, has, since December, 1884, been disabled by partial blindness and other
sickness, and, as this account is being written, is, for tlie third time, on his way to
the Lake.
The work of the Mission on the island of Zanzibar has been chiefly notable for
additional efforts towards the training of a native ministry, under the direction of
the Rev. P. L. Jones- Bateman and Mr. A. C. Madan (of Christ Church, Oxon.), and a
considerable weeding of the boys' school, by sending the elder ones as apprentices to
Zantibar craftsmen, and affording them a separate home for themselves in one of the
houses of the Mission in the old slave -market.
Li the Usambara country, under Archdeacon Farler, there is a growing inclina
tion among the tribes to listen to the teachers and imitate the life shown by the
missionary settlements.
The pant twelve months have been saddened by four deaths among the Europeans
— one young Layman and three Clergy — while some others have (by sickness) had to
abandon their posts. It has been more than usually unhealthy of late in this part of
Africa.
The number of the staff and the amount raised remain much the same as given in
the preceding Tear-Book.
CommunicatioDs should be addressed to the Rev. W. H. Penney,

This Association was formed in ^une 1880 by several gentlemen who
had been long resident in India, to be the permament auxiliary of the
Church in that great dependency of the Empire, especially in its work
among Europeans and Eurasians, and to serve as an agency in making
known in this country the claim of the Indian Church upon English
Churchmen for sympathy and assistance in the endeavour to supply the
religious and educational needs of that jiow numerous and rapidlv in-
creasing section of the population of India.

This is its main object, and the only one for which it solicits subscrip-
tions and donations. It does not interfere with any existing missionary
agen^ of the Church of England in raising funds for missionary work
am<Hig the natiyes of India, although it does not refuse to forward any
contrioutions to special missions in India and apply them as directed.

The Association in aid of the Bishop of Cape Town, was formed in the
year 1869 to assist the late Bishop Gray in proyiding for the pressing
needs uf his Diocese, and also to famish an income for the Bishop of
Haritzbuig. Although a separate organisation has now been formed to
assist the Bishop of Maritzburg, never did the Diocese of Cape Town stand
in greater need of assistance from the Mother Church at home than at the
present time. There has been widespread distress in the Colony, and the
S.P.G. has been obliged, in consef^uence of othfr pressing claims, to
greatly diminish the grant to the Diocese of Cape Toii'n. The following
extract is taken from the last Report : * Many new missions have been
called into existence of late years, wliich have naturally excited much
interest in this country. But,' whilst we give our support to these newer
missions, many of them the natural outgrowth of those longer established,
we must take care that the older missions of the Church are not allowed
to suffer through lack of funds. It would, indeed, be a ^ievous scandal
to the Church to allow the splendid work in South Africa, commenced
nearly forty years ago by Bishop Gray, to languish through want of the
support which is naturally looked for from England. ... If members of
the Church at home are satisfied that Bishop Jones has in every respect
proved himself to be a worthy successor of Bishop Gray, that the work has
grown under his care, and that he has been enabled to carry out much
which Bishop Gray desired to see, such as the establishment of a branch
of the Cowley Brotherhood for the conversion of the Malays, and the
development of the many good works of All Saints sisters, which, neces-
sarily with their growth, require increased aid and support, then we feel
sure that loyal Churchmen at home will not fail to send substantial help
in this time of urgent need.*

remains to be done. A great point was that neither Boers nor Zulus offered
any active opposition to our return, though shortly afterwards an adverse
message was sent from the young king, the effects of which the Bishop,
by making a timely visit to the chiefs, was able to evade. The other
mission stations were pursuing their usual work without serious in-
terruption. The three missionaries supported by S.P.G., Messrs. Samuel-
son, Jackson, and Johnson, a\ ere working respectively at St. Paurs. in

FOREIGN LITERATURE OF THE CHURCH.
SOCIETT FOB PBOMOTIHO CHRISTIAN KNOWLIDOE.
Among the agencies subsidiary to the Foreign Mission Work of the Church, there u
none of greater importance than that by which is secured the production of a
Christian vernacular literature. The oflBciency of the missionary depends in a large
measure upon the ready supply of Catechisms, Prayer Books, Bibles, &c., in the
language of the people with whom he has to deal, and everything that facilitates that
supply is of paramount importance to his work. The Foreign Missions of the
Church of England have hitherto received ready help in this respect from various
agencies at home and abroad. The earliest agency in the field, and, if measured by
the variety of its publications, the most important, is the Society for Promoting
Christian Knowledge. As far back as the year 1709, when Robert Nelson and other
original members of the Society were still alive, we find it occupied in the work of
circulating a Welsh version of the Book of Common Prayer, and a few years later
(1718) in the publication of a Welsh version of the Bible, and an Irish version of
the Prayer Book. A new edition of the Bible in Welsh was undertaken in 1743, and
published in 1748. 30,000 of this edition were circulated by 1768, and another edition
of 20,000 then issued. In 1799 a new edition, consisting of 10,000 copies, was pub-
lished and sold in the Principality at half the cost price in sheets. In 1710 we find
the Society sending out to the Mission at Tranquebar, then but lately established by
its aid, a printing-press and accessories, which were soon after fully employed, as
is evidenced by the publications issued shortly afterwards in Telugu, and also in
the Portuguese language, which seems to have been largely spoken in South- Western
India at the time.
It is significant of the activity of the English Church at this period, which
people are prone to believe to have been an unenterprising one, that in the year
1720, 10,000 versions of the New Testament in Arabic, 6,000 Psalters, 6,000
Catechisms, and an abridgment of Bible History in the same language, were
produced and circulated by this Society. Since that time the same agency has
been continuously active in supplying the vernacular needs of our various Foreign
Missions. The Bible and Prayer Book have by its means been put into many
languages, and these versions freely supplied wherever required. The versions of the
Book of Common Prayer produced and circulated by the Society embrace nearly
everything that has been done in this direction. It may give some idea of the extent
of this work if we furnish here a rough list of the versions of the Prayer Book already
provided by the S.P.C.K.
226 foreign <^xletalnte of 1^6 ^l^ttrc|.
The Prayer Book has been pablished, in whole or in part, in the following
languages : —
Sorope.— Welsh, Manx, Gaelic, Irish, French (2 versions), Spanish, Portugnesc,
Italian, Dutch, Danish, German, Maltese, Latin, Ancient Greek, Modem Greek,
Turkish, and Russian.
Asia. — Arabic, Armenian, Persian, Gajarati, Bengali, Hindostani, Hindi, Sindhi,
Iklarathi, Panjabi, Karen, Larka Col, Santhali, Canarese, Singalese, Tamil, Telngn,
Malayalim, Assamese, Burmese, Chinese (Mandarin Colloquial), Chinese (Hangchow),
Sea Dyak ( Borneo), and Japanese.
Africa. — Amharic, Boondei, Igbira, Malagasy, Kup^ Swahili, Susu, Sesuto,
Seooana, Yao, Toruba, and Zulu.
Ameriea (Vorth). — Chipewyan, Cree, Eskimo, Slavi, Tukudh, Ojibwa, Zimshian,
Muncey, M^klakapamuk, and Beaver Indian.
Ameriea (South). — Acawoio, Arawak, Carib, and Waran.
Polyneiia. — Hawaiian, Mota, Ysabel, Florida, and Maori.
In addition to these versions of our Liturgy, the S.P.C.K. has produced numerous
translations, in whole or in part, of the Holy Scriptures. Besides publishing versions
in the several European languages, which are much valued, this Society has pro-
duced and circulated the Scriptures, in whole or in part, in many of the languaees
of Asia, Africa, America, and the islands of the Pacific. A detailed list is hardly
possible, as many of the versions were produced abroad at the Society's expense,
and do not appear upon the Society's catalogue. To the circulation thus dirtetlff
given to the Holy Scriptures may be add^ the indireet distribution of God*s
Word through the large portions embraced in the foreign translations of the Book
of Common Prayer.
Whilst making careful provision for the distribution of the Bible, the Society has
proved from experience, especially in New Zealand, the very great importance of
combining with the Text where it is practicable a separate and simple Commentary.
Without the assistance of some instruction it is often found that the heathen form
very erroneous conceptions of the truths of Holy Scripture. The S.P.C.K., as a
Church Society, is fully persuaded of this great need, and has lately extended the
sphere of operations of its Foreign Translation Committee, so as to enable this
Committee to undertake any kind of work which may be deemed by our Bishops
abroad likely to spread Christian knowledge. Hence the recent issues by that
Society of commentaries, catechisms, manuals, hymn-books, evidential works, gram-
mars, and dictionaries, in various foreign languages. During the year 1886-7 there
have appeared from the Society's press the following, among other foreign verna-
cular works: —
Meditations sur les Paroles Consolantcs, and the Book of Common Prayer in
French (Revised Edition); a grammar of the Kagurn language; a Polyglotta Afri-
cana ; AraM<i version of El Kindhi ; a Child's Catechism in Italian ; a Niger vo-
cabulary ; Snrahili exercises ; a Grammar of the Kamha language ; the Book of
Common Prayer in Arabic ; the Gospel of St. Mark, a manual of Devotion, and a
vocabulary in Beaver Indian ; a Oree Hymnal ; a Penian Bible History ; Robertson's
Church History in Snahili ; the Book of Common Prayer in Urdu (Roman character) :
the same (in Persian character) ; a coloured Bible Picture Book in Amharic ; stories
from the Old Testament in Arabic and English ; Proverbs and Tales in the Hausa
language ; a grammar of the Seooana language ; a commentary on the New Testa-
ment, vol. i., in Telugu ; the Gospels of SS. Mark and Luke in Zimthian.
The following books are in course of preparation, and many of them will shortly
be published : —
The Book of Common Prayer in Malagasy ; a Dictionary of the Ny-iJta language ;
a Kafir version of Plain Words ; the Book of Common Prayer in Secoana ; jSi^rt (or
Tinni) Lessons; a coloured Child's Bible Picture Book in Swahili; a Child's Acts of
the Apostles in Swahili ; Singalese Manual of Devotion ; the Book of Common Prayer
in Swahili ; the Gospels and Acts in Florida ; the Book of Common Prayer in Flo-
rida ; Prayers in Quagittl ; a vocabulary of the Ki-Makva language ; Marathi version
of Burton's Church History ; Women of Christendom in Urdu ; Telugu version of
Foley's * Evidences ; ' Tamil Book of Common Prayer ; Marathi Book of Common
I^rayer ; Bengali version of Vaughan's lectures.

The above lists give some idea of the great demands made upon the Society's
resooroes by this part of its work. So heavy, indeed, has been the drain on the cha-
ritable fnnds that the Foreign Translation Committee have been forced to make a
special appeal for aid in oarryiog on their work, and it is hoped, in view of its great
importance, that this appeal will not be made in vain.

THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY.
Though this Society is not confined to Churchmen, fifteen members of its elected
Committee must by its Constitution be Churchmen. As its 'sole object' is defined
by its first law to be < to encourage the wider circulation of the Holy Scriptures,
without note or comment,* a limited sphere is provided for united action ; and by
the combined resources of various bodies of Christians, with the blessing of Cod,
this one object has been attained to a marvellous degree.
GntCULATIOV OF HOLY SOSIPTCTBES, 1885-6.— The circulation by this Society
of Bibles, Testaments, and Portions of Holy Scripture during 1885-6, was for a second
time in succession over four million copies. Out of a total of 4,123,904 copies put
into circulation within the year, 2,192,819 passed out of the London depdt at 146
Qaeen Victoria Street, E.C., and 1,931,085 copies were issued by the foreign dep6ts
which exist in all parts of the globe. The Bibles issued were 831,513 ; Uie Testa-
ments (with and without the Psalms) were l,816,186j and the Portions, containing
at least one integral book of the Bible, were 1,476,205.
laeoma, ISMUO. — The expenditure in 1885-6 in producing and circulating these
books was 240,829/. I5s. 5d. The income received was 105,517/. lis. Sd, for books
sold, and 132,874/. it. 3d. from other sources, making a total of 238,391/. ISs. 6</., or
2,437/. 16«. lid. lest than the expenditure.
Penny Testament. — The attractive New Testament in English, which was first
issued in July 1884, for sale (below cost) at one penny per copj', had reached a total
circulation of 1,750,398 copies by March 31, 1886. As the price is specially fixed at
one penny to bring it within the purchasing power of all classes, no copies of this
book have been issued free, or at a price below a penny. But even so, the receipts
by sales have been less by 7,300/. than the cost of the copies sold. A similar * Penny '
Testament in Welsh was published in October 1885, and by March 3], 1886, its
circulation had reached 26,317 copies.
Total Girenlation of Holy Scriptiires.— The total issues of Bibles, Testaments, and
Portions by this Society since its formation in 1804 have been 108,320,869 copies.
About 51,300,000 copies of Holy Scripture, whole or in part, have been printed for it
in English. These are issued at or below cost price for the spiritual good of the
100,oS),000 people who speak the English language in all parts of the world. The
population of the British Isles amounts to only thirty-six millions. The Colonies
and dependencies of the Crown raise this figure to nearly three hundred and ten millions
of people, or between one-fourth and one-fifth of the human race. There is no single
Colony or Dependency in all this vast empire unprovided with at least a Portion of
Ihe Word of God which may be obtained from the British and Foreign Bible Society.
The versions of the Bible required in the British Possessions include the following
living languages : —
Earopean Langoagei. — English, Gaelic, Welsh, French, Spanish, Dutch, German,
Frisian, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Judeo- Spanish.
AMean Lang^iagei.— Accra, Ashanti, Bullom, Dahom6, Ewe, Fanti, Hausa, Kafir,
Mende, Nama, Herero, Sechuana, Sesnto, Temne, Yarib, Zulu.
Aiiatie Langnagei. — Arabic, Judeo-Arabic, Beluchi, Bengali, Musalmani-Bcngali,
Hindi, Hindustani (Urdu), Lepcha, Mandari, Uriya, Persian, Panjabi, Pashtu,
Bajmahali, Sindhi, Gujarati, Parsi-Gujarati, Marathi, Konkani, Kanarese, Dakhani,
Malayalam, Telngu, Tulu, Tamil, Singalese, Indo-Portuguese, Burmese, Peguese,
Karen, Malay, Chinese in several varieties, Dyak, and many more.
228 ^rifis!^ anb ^otrcign ^i&(c ffoci^is.
Translations of the Bible are also required in the following ancient languages
used for religious purposes by some of Her Majesty's subjects : — Armenian, Hebrew,
Pali, Sanskrit, Syriac.
American Lang^agef. — Chipew}'Bn, Crcc, Eskimo, Grecnlandish, Iroquois, Mali-
seet, Mic-Mac, Mohawk, Ojibwa, QagutI, 81av6, Tunn6, Tukudh.
Oceania. — Fiji, Rotuman, Motu, Saibai, Murray Island, South Cape (New Guinea),
and others.
In providing the Holy Scriptures in these and other languages, to the number
now of 277 in all, the Bible Society has been treading in the steps of the Early
Church which supplied its missionaries and their converts with versions in Syriac,
Coptic, Ethiopic, Gothic, Latin, Georgian, Slavonic, Anglo-Saxon, &c.
Among the new languages recently yoked to the Bible-car by this Society have
been Baki (New Hebrides), Fanti (Gold Coast), Hainanese (Island of Hainan, China),
Igbira (West Africa), Ittu-Galla (Galla country), Kabyle (N. Africa), Kumuk (N.W.
shore of the Caspian), Macedonian-Rouman (Macedonia), and Pangasinan (Luzon,
Philippines).
Oranti. — Within the last two years grants amounting to over 4,000/. have been
made to other societies, such as the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and
its Ladies' Association, the Church Missionary Society, the Church of England
Zenana Missionary Society, the Indian Female Normal School and Instruction
Society, the Society for Promoting Female Education in the East, Miss L. M.
Whately's Mission, and others, to enable them to employ more native Christian
Blblewomen to read the Bible to their secluded sisters in the East, and to teach
them to read it. In this way, it is hoped, an increased circulation of the Holy Book
will eventually follow in the East.
For the educated young men of India, copies of St. Luke's Gospel with The Act«,
of the New Testament, and of the Bible have been furnished for successive presenta-
tion to them as they pass the grades in the examinations of the Indian Universities
for a degree.
The varied features of this Society's vast work in all parts of the
world are described in its Annual Report, which mav he obtained from
the Secretaries, at the Bible House, 146 Queen Victoria Street, E.C,

OFFICIAL REPORTS OF THE COLONIAL AND
MISSIONARY BISHOPS.
BI0CE8E OF ADELAIDE.
Jt^ Oeneral De8cription.--This See was founded in 1847, and by th
^Bk letters patent of t)) e first Bishop ( Dr.Short) the Diocese was made con
^^J|L^ terminons with the colony of South Australia. When the * Norther
^ Territory' was added to the colony, it appears to have been regarded
as included in this Diocese, but as this is by no means certain, th
Primate has requested the Bishop to exercise episcopal supervisioi
over this portion of the colony, until proper steps can be taken fo
its incorporation with the Diocese. The whole colony may be re
garded as comprising three divisions— South Australia propei
Central Australia, and the Northern Territory. It thus stretchei
acFoes the whole continent from the Southern Ocean to the Indian Ocean. The tota
area comprises 914,780 square miles. The population is about 300,000, of whom abou
5,000 are residents in the Northern Territory.
tniiireli Work. — The depression of which I had to speak last year has been fell
more severely daring the succeeding twelve months. The adult population of the
colony has been reduced, owing to men leaving to seek work elsewhere. Possibl]
the account I have to send would have appeared better, from a Church point o
view, had the circumstances of the colony been better, but there is yet much t<
be thankful for. The number of Communicants has increased in the past year f ron:
4,695 to 5,419. The Clergy number 70, and the licensed Lay Readers have increasec
from 148 to 199. The Ordinations were four— 2 Priests and 2 Deacons. The Bap-
tisms have increased from 2,654 to 3,032, and 923 persons were confirmed. The
Sunday scholars have increased from 8,144 to 9,163, and the Teachers from 789 tc
874. Seven new churches and a mission-room were erected during the year. The
bailding grants which have been made during the year in two or three instances b}
the S.P.C.K. have been extremely encouraging to the people. The voluntary contri-
butions and offerings made in the various parishes and mission districts amounted tc
the considerable sum of 25,584^ Steady Church work is now being carried on by a
resident Clergyman at Palmerston, in the Northern Territory, to whom the S.P.G,
make an annual grant.
I must be allowed to record in the Chubch Yeab-Book the severe, almost irrepa-
rable, loss which the Diocese has suffered in the sudden death of Dean Russell, in
May 1886. By his generous and sympathetic character he had endeared himself to
all who knew him ; by his self-denying life he had set a noble example of a manly
following of his Master; by his great abilities he had for thirty years contributed the
most valuable help in the development of the work of the Church throughout the
Diocese.
It should be strongly urged upon the Clergy in England, that members of the
Church emigrating from England to Australia should not only be fiiniished with
commendatory letters, but instructed to make a point of presenting them in person,
and to endorse upon them, before leaving them at a clergyman's house, an address in
the colony where they may be found.

HISSIOITABT SIOCEBE OF ALOOKA.
Oeuenl DeiDription. — This Diocese was formerly part of tbe
Diocese of Toronlo, but was 'set off ' in 1873 by tbe Provindid
Synod. The first Bishop was Ihc Bigbt Rev. F. D. Fanquier,
who died suddenly in 1881, and was snccceded by the present
' Bishop, who was consecrated on June 29. 1882. The Diocese
originally consisted of the civil district at Algoma, including
the Manitonlin and 4tber islands, but was subsequently enlarged
80 as to include the districts of Parry Sound, Uoakoka, and parts
of Nipissing. It has a shore-line of 1,000 miles, and an area of
48,173 square miles. The present population is about 76,000,
consisting of settlers and Indians (Ojibwas), the former being
mmnl; farmers, fishcrmeD, lumbermen, and miners. PopolatioD
increases slowly, but the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which rons
Ihrongh a largi^ portion of the Diocese, will furnish facilities for a speedy occupa-
tion by emigrants of all the land available for agriculture.
CliuToli Work.— The IS Clergy of 1882 have increased to 21, of whom 7 were
ordained last year, 2 to the Diaconatc, and G to the I'riesthood. Students from tlio
Theological Colleges serve as Catechists during the Hommer, and Lay Headers
(voluntary) are also employed where possible. Last year 9S persons were confirmed,
1 church and 1 cemetery were consecrated; 4 churches and I parsonage are now
being built. For the Indians, who are stiil lo a great extent pagans, we have 3 Homes
— the Shingwank for boys, and the Wawanosh for girls, under the care of the Bav. E.
F. Wilson. In theso the boys arc taoght trades, when old enough ; 15/. will feed,
clothe, and educate a boy or girl for a year,
FinanM. — ThoChnrch is maintaitied by (I) local offerings; (2) donations and
subecriptions from Canada and England ; and (3) grants from English societies — the
8.P.a. (760i., including lOOi. for Missionary boat), the C. & CCS. (285(.), and the
S.P.C.K. (various amounts, from lOI. upwards, in aid of church building), in addition
to liberal grants of Prayer and Service books, tracts, maps, ice., &c. During the
year the Church people contributed, out ot,lheir poverty, about 70(W. tor the support
of the Clergy, and 3001. for the erection of churches and parsonages.
FTMting Hflsdi.— (1) The prayers of tlie Chareh. (2) Her substantial sympathy

ing Fund,' to supplement local efforts, on whidi outside help is always made con-
ditional. Of 99 Congregations, only 6S have churches in which to worship, and of
those only 3 are of stone, the rest of hewn logs or sawn timber. We also need
clothing for Indians and poorer settlcis, and general reading matter (' Graphics' ^c-)
for free distribution in poor and isolated portions of the Diocese. B. Algoh a.

DIOCEBE OF ASTiatTA.
0«naral Daieription.— This Diocese was formed in 1842, when
the Diocese of Barbados was. by letters-patent from the Crown,
divided into three— Barbados, British Guiana, and Antigua. Dr.
William Walrond Jackson, tlie third Bishop, was oonseciated in
Sloy 1860; and in January 1880, after forty-six years' service in the
Church in the West Indies, he was compelled by failing health to
retire from tbe active duties of the Sec. His coadjutor. Dr. Charles
James Branch, was consecrated in July 1882, and to him the
administration of tho Diocese ia now committed in the absence of
the Bishop.
The Diocese embraces the English inlands of Antigua, Dominica,
Barbuda, llonlserrat, St. Kitt's, Nevis, Anguilla, Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and An^ada,
as well OS ciiurchcs in the foreign islands ot St. Bartholomew (French), Saba (Dutch),
l^toccscs of Jlnfiguo anft genital Africa. 233
St. Croii and St. Thomas (D.miiil]), Porto Rico and Vifiqiies (SpaniBh). Ei^lish is
the language o£ the oommon people in all these islands, eicept Dominica, which was
foimerly a Fretich possession, and Torto Bico, nhich has always belonged to Spain.
CkuTch Work.— Tbe siiteen isiandu arc divided into Ihroo aiclideaconries— viz.,
Antigua, St. Kitt's, and Virgin Inlands, Thoro are 43 chnrchca with separate parishes
or districts, besides schoolrooms licensed for public worship, and there an: 37 Clergy
(of whom 19 were bom in Ihc West Indies), ossistcil by 21 licensed Idj Readers.
In 1873 the Church in the Knglish islantls was disestablished and disendowed, the
rights of existing incumbents being reserved. A Diocesan Synod met for the first
time, in Antigua, in Jane 1881, anil framed canons for the government of the Diocese,
to which all the Clergy subscribed. It met again in Bt. Kitt's in IgSS, and is in
fatnie to meet erery two years. Darinj^the year 18SS tliere were 2,189 baptisms, 332
marriages, and 1,797 borials. The number of persons confirmed was 658, and there
were 10,436 registered commanicants. The Itishop ordained 3 Pricats and 2 Deaci^ns.
Ilnaiies. — The present Bishop, ander his patent, receives a stipend from the
Consolidated Fond. This provi.sion will cease with his tenure of office, bat it has
enabled him to provide for a coadjutor, and to add yearly to a tand for the future
endowment of the See, which lias now reached 11,0001,, and is held in trnst by
the S.P.a. Of the Cle^y in the English islands, 21 have now, from deaths and
lemgnatiom on pension, been tlirown on the voluntary contribations of their Bocks,
aniirted by annual grants from S.P.O., amounting together during 1884 to 860'.
In the foreign islands the Clergy have always been supported entirely by their con-
gitgatious. In tit. Thomas only, being a consular station, tlie rector of All Saints'
leoeivei from the Foreign Office a small allowance as British Chaplain. The total
■Dm collected in 1885 for Chnrcli purposes was 6,9631. The property of the Church
is adminiitered under the Bishop, by a Cunncil in each Island, conmsting of tlie
Clem and Teprcsentative laymen from each Parish.
Uiwation.— This is provided for the hkbonring classes in the denominational
■choolaof the several religious bodies — Church of England, Itoman Catholic, Moravian,
and Wesleyan. These arc all subsidised by grants from the Legistatnrc, where they
ate approved by the Govemraenl Inspector. The Church has 4,257 children in her
day schools (in the Englisli islands), and 8,020 in tiunday schools. A large ma-
jority of the labouring population can read (of the younger people nearly all), and
many can write also. W. W. AntiOUA.

Oraeral Dsseriplion.— Tliis missionary Bishopric was toundei] by
the English Dniver.sitlcs in 1861, in answer to an appeal from
Livingstone lo the Chorch of England. Biehop Mackenzie and the
first mission party were settled by Livingstone at Magomero, near
the Shiri rivet. Aflerthe death of Bishop Uackcniie in 1862,thB
head-quarters of the mission wore wisely removed by his successor.
Bishop Toier, to Zanzibar, the capital of East Central Africa. Here,
during the ten years of hi.t episcopate, good work was done in
training native teachers and founding scliools. while fresh ground
was broken on the roainl.Tnd. Bishop Tozer, having resigned through
ill-health, was succeeded by Bishop Stecre, under whoso guidance
the misHion rapidly cxtendc<1 itself on the mainland. He died in
1888, and Dr. Smvthies was consecrated liis successor on St. Andrew's Day, 1883.
The work of the mission lies in the 600 miles stretrhing from 6° S. lat. to Cape
Delgado, and extends inland about 300 miles to Lake Kyassa. This countcy contains
many different tribes, each with its own lan^'najtc. The population is large, but
impossible lo estimate; in Uanmbara and the Ihindei country, and also around Lake
Nvasso, it in dense. The natives nre fairly intelligent, but dllJer considerably accord-
ing to their tribes ; the Bondeis and Yaos' are quick and inquiring, while the Kyassas
are good-tempered and slothful. Since the mission station was opened at Magila,
there has been a great advance in civilisation among the Itondeis. Part of the work
is the rescue and training of freed slaves : this ia chiefly carricil on at three stat ions
in the island of Zaniibai. Evidence luis not Imcn wanting dnring the past year that
the slaTe trade is still flourishing along the cast coast and in the iutctioi wl Mfvt^.

dLureh Work« — It is difficult to keep an accurate record of the Church members,
as they are so widely scattered, but about 1,000 natives have been baptised, and there
are a large number of catechumens and heareis under Christian instruction.
There are mission stations at Zanzibar, in Usambara, and the Bondei country, on
the Rovuma, and on Lake Nyassa, twelve in all, with several out-stations attached to
them. Two archdeaconries have been founded : Magila In 1879, and Zanzibar in 1882.
There are ten schools with European teachers, and several small day schools, at the vari-
ous out-stations, with native teachers. There are 26 Clei^ (including three native
deacons), 2 native readers, and 13 native teachers, the whole staff, including lay-
workers, numbering 78 persons.
A party of 8 missionaries made a successful expedition in 1885 up the rivers
Zambesi and 8hir6 to Lake Nyassa, conveying the mission steamer ' Charles Janson,*
for the purpose of taking up again the former work of the Mission, on the eastern
shore of the Lake. A small islsjid, Dikomo, has been secured for the head-quarters
of work on the lake, and among the adjoining tribes. The Bishop, with the Rev.
W. P. Johnson (the originator of the steamer sememe), 3 other Clergy, and 3 English
laymen left Zanzibar in May 1886, to reinforce the Nyassa and Rovuma districts.
The beautiful church, on the site of the old slave-market, built by Bishop Steere, is
now completed, with the exception of the internal decorations. Services are held in
it every day for the native Christians, and also on Sundays for the English residents
in Zanzibar. There are in the town of Zanzibar, besides some 50 English, nearly
8,000 British Indian subjects.
A stone church has been almost built at Mbweni, and at Magila a handsome stone
church, with aisles and arches, was opened on Lady-day 1886. Our printing office,
the only one in 2«anzibar, is doing good service, yearly turning out a large number of
religious and educational books, which are used by the various missionary societies,
and by their means carried far and wide into the interior of Africa. A theological
school has at last been commenced for the higher training of promising lads, in the
hope that eventually they may be found to have a vocation for Holy Orders.
Finance. — The income from every source during the past year has exceeded 5,600Z.
Subscriptions and donations in Zanzibar amounted to 168/., and the offertories in
Zanzibar and Mbweni churches to 5U. All the members of the Mission are unsalaried.
Keeds. — The Mission is now larger than the present income can maintain, and the
committee have given notice that the expenditure must be reduced, but this can only
be done by giving up some existing work. Our schools, with hundreds of scholars,
are entirely supported by the funds of the Mission, and they are full. We need to
extend our school accommodation. Our mud huts need replacing with stone build-
ings, which admit of an upper story for sleeping. The outlay on the steamer and the
new stations on Lake Nyassa adds greatly to our expenses. Many openings present
themselves, which we would enter if we had the means. We g^reatly need, therefore,
increased exertion on the part of all our friends, and individual effort to extend the
circle of our subscribers. F.R.H. jnro Bishop Smtthibs.

DI0CE8S OF EASTERN EQirATOEIAL AFRICA.
fWm Oeneral Description.— This Diocese was founded in 1884, the
^^||^ present Bishop being the first. It consists of the two C.M.S.
_%|y districts, formerly known as the East African and the Victoria
•^^■Pli^^ Nyanza Missions, though its extent may be spoken of as almost
boundless. The East African Mission was commenced by Dr. Krapf ,
under the auspices of the C.M.S., in 1844 ; and in 1875 took anew
phase through the foundation of a freed slave colony by the Rev.
W. 8. Price, at Frere Town, on the mainland, near the island of
Mombasa. The Nyanza Mission was commenced by the Rev.
C. W. Wilson, Lieut. Shergold Smith, R.N., and others, in Usagara
and Uganda, the country of the well-known late King Mtesa, where
wonderful progress in the education and conversion of the people
has been made. The characteristics of the people, while they have many points in
conunon, yet vary very greatly, and some of the races seem much more receptive of
Divine truth and education than otheirs do. No such thing aa idolatry is known

diScoltiec of the work.
Chtueh Work.— The stations nninber 10, of which S belong to the East African
UiitfoD — namely Frete Town, Rabbai, Qodoma, Teita, with a new one in progtteB tn
Chagga— and 6 to the Tictoria Tijaoa Uission—naaielf, Uamboia, Mpwapwa, Uttu.

DIOCESE or ATHABASCA.
fleiLBTal Description. — This comprises the sonthem portion
of the original Diocese of that name, which included what is
now called the Diocese of Mackenzie Giver. The division was
effected at the l*roTincial Bynod of the Church of En^and in
Bupert'sUiDd.beld in 1383. Its northern booodaryls the SOtb
parallel of north latitnde, its western the Rocky Uountains.
The eastern and southern boundaries are not yet defined.
Chnnh Work.— The work is at present almost purely of
a missionary character. To visit the Missions already est**
hlished, or snch points as oifer farourable openings, will entail
ttarelling for Gomc 3,000 miles in going and returning. The
chief means of travel are the rivers and lakes, the latest of
which are the Feace, Athabasca, Slave, and Clearwater Riveis, with their tribu-
taries, and Lakes Athabasca, Wollaston, and Lesser Slave Lake. The Indians
Fcattered throughout this immense area ore Beavera, Wood Crees. and Chippewyans.
Fonr Missions are occupied. At two of these there are good churches ; at the third
a large room in the Mission House is fitted up for scn-icc. Five other points conld
be oceapied at once were there only means. Three Clergymen are already In the'
field, and 2 more are to join. There arc also 3 Lay Agents. The income, 1,22SI., is
BuppUed by the C.M.8.
The Peace River country offers favourable conditions for Bettlemont. The Cana-
dian Blnc-Book for 1681 reports, on the north bank, a tract of country some six
hundred miles in length, and aveiagiug forty miles in width, of which a large per-
centage is fit for immediate settlement, and a good deal more could be eaaily
cleared. The soil is a goad black loaiu, with a gravelly clay subsoil. Its wheat is
already favourably known. Rickabd Athabasca.

DIOCESE OF ADCKLAHD,
ASeneral Deiorlptien. — This Diocese, formerly known as that of
New Zealand, is that part of the colony which the late Bishop
Selwyn retained for himself, after resigning the charge of those
provinces which now form the Dioceses of Christchurch, Welling-
ton, Nelson, Waiapu, and Dunedin.
The first Bishop of the Diocese, Dr. George Angnstns Selveyn,
afterwards Bistiop of Lichfield, was consecrated in 18*1, and his
successor, the present Bishop, in 1669.
The Diocese of Aockland comprises the northern part of the
north island of the colony of Kcw Zealand, extending from south
lot. 3*"= 20" to 39° 20", and from east long. 172' SS' to 176". and con-
twnt an area of abont 16,669 square miles, with a scattered European population ot
aboqt 160.D00.
236 3^toccscs of ^ucktcmb <mb "^alhxvttt
A luge portion of the population is engaged in commerce, Anckland poesesitiiig
the principal harbour of the colony; a considerable part is occupied in agricultural
juid pastoral employments, and Bome thoosanda work in the Thames gold-fields, and
in digging the gum of the Kauri pine.
ChnreS Work, *«. — The number of Clergy is at preaent 71, including 13 Maoris,
and the rnunber of congregations about 210. Of the European population about
66,000, and of tlie Maori population abont 18,000, are members of tbe Church.
Ednoation. — There is a college, situated about six miles from Auckland, for the
training of candidates for Holy Orders, and other young men, the nuileti of which
is the Rev, William Beatty, M.A. It has a gross income of about 1,4001. There is
also a Church Grammar School in Auckland, with a small endowment, the Head-
master of which is H. T. Pycroft, Esq,
Fiiunes. — There are scarcely any parish endowments, the Clergy being main-
tained almost entirely by the weekly offerings of the people. Abont 13,000/. was
contributed by the congregationB in 1886 for Church work in the Diocese,

DIOCESE OF BALLASAT.
General Dsieription.— The Diocese ot Ballaivt was separated
from that of Melbourne in 187G. It forms the western, a« the
present See of Melbourne forms tbe eastern, portion of the oolony
of Victoria. The boundaries of the Diocese are therefore thorn
of the Colony, except on the east, where they roughly approxi-
mate to the 14 jth meridian E, longitndc. It is half tbe sfie of
England anct Wales, and contains some 300,000 souls, of whom
some 70,000 or 80.000 amy be adherents of the Church of Kng-
land; the majority arc Presbyterians and Wesleyans, and one-
sixth Eoman Catholics. Only 100 are aboriginal blacks; 6,000
or 7,000 arc Chinese heathen. The popnlation averages five or
si« persons to the square mile. It has only one large town,
Ballaret, containing some 42,000 people ; and no high-olasa sea-
port. A range of high hills traverses it, but it is chiefly level ; on the north-west
and south are large tracts of wild forest and scrub : the climate is delightful. The
people are mainly (a) 'squatters,' or • settlers,' that is, large landholders, in lease-
hold or freehold, wool growers ; these are chiefly Presbyterians, and are increasingly
absentees ; (i) gold miners ; («) selectors, or small bush farmers. The last is by far
the most nnmerous class.
Chnrali Work.— There are j3 parishes or districts, 65 Clergy, 12 Lay Headers, and
47 honorary Lay Helpers, who bold the Biehop's licence ; 113 Anglican ohuiches,
besides 12 osed for Anglican Service, and 64 parsonagefi. The commanicants are over
4.000, and about 3,000 persons are baptised, and 1,000 confirmed, yearly. Increase
has taken place during the year in all departments. Eleven new churches have been
opened, and 5 others are in more or loss immediate prospect ; 7 have been sub-
stantially cnlai^d or improved; 3 parsonages have been built or acquired; and
3 schools have been enlaif^ed or improved and 1 built. The Girls' Friendly Society
of the Diocese nnmben some 204 associates and 1,300 members. The movement for
erecting a atone Cathedral of beautiful design, to cost 36,0001. without spire, is pro-
gressing, upwards of 2,Q0Ol. having been contributed. The present Pro-Cathedral is
altogether too small tor the congregations desiring to use It. The Church Anembly
now nombers 107— C6 Clergy and B2 Laymen.
Edneation.— The Stale School education of the colony is absolutely leoiilar,
compulsory, tax-supported, and free. There are, practically, no Chuich ol BnglaAd
day Bohoois in the Diocese. There are abont 10,000 Church Sunday scholars, with

religious instraction in the State schools after school hours, but this is only possible
in the larger centres of population.
Finance. — The Diocese receives no aid whatever from the State. The contribu-
tions towards building churches, mbsion rooms, and parsonages amounted, in 1885,
to 4,739i. ; for support of Clergy and Lay Helpers, 15,499/.; for Sunday schools,
667/. ; and for other Charities, 542/. The S.P.G. and S.P.C.K. have helped liberally
towards the Clergy Endowment Fund, and the former made an annual grant until
1881. The Colonial and Continental Church Society now grants 100/. a year.
Speeial Keeds. — One special need of the Diocese is money for building, on loan,
in the * selector' districts, Churches, Parsonages, and Sunday schools (the use of
the church for these being undesirable if it can be avoided), and for training, horsing,
and helping to maintain Clergy for bush missionary districts. An endowment fund
of 35,000/. at least is needed to furnish an adequate backbone of income for Diocesan
operations in this department ; only about 30,000/. has been accumulated. A con-
.siderable accession of income is needed for the Chinese missions in the Colony.
There are admirable openings for young unmarried Cleigy, graduates of the choicer
and more energetic sort : none whatever for half -hearted, lialf-educated, or cumbered
men. 8. Ballarat.

DIOCESES OF BABBADOS AND THE WDTDWABD ISLANDS.
General Description. -Tlie Diocese of Barbados, founded in 1824,
originally extended from British Guiana to the Virgin Islands, and
was divided into three archdeaconries — Barbados, Guiana, and
Antigua. After the resignation of the first Bishop, Dr. WiUiam
Hart Coleridge, the Diocese was divided into three, each Archdeaconry
becoming a separate See, and Archdeacon Fairy, of Barbados, became
Bishop of that Diocese, to whom Dr. Mitchinson succeeded in 1873.
Before his appointment Trinidad had become a separate Diocese, and
during his episcopate the islands of St. Vincent and Grenada, with
the Grenadines and Tobago, were formed into the Diocese of the
Windward Islands. St. Lucia was not incorporated with the other
islands, but by their Anglican Church ordinance of 1875 the Bishop of Barbados has
episcopal supervision over the Anglican congregations there, though he has no legally
defined jurisdiction. On the resignation of Dr. Mitchinson in 1881, the present
Bishop was appointed, and was consecrated in Lambeth Palace Chapel, on St. Philip
and St. James's Day, 1882.
DioceBC of Barbados.
Chnreli Work. — The Diocese is co-extensive with the island of Barbados, and has
a population, according to the last census, of 171,860, of whom 151,048 are entered
as belonging to the Church of Kngland. The number of communicants in 1883 was
12,105, and there were 49 Clergy, including those holding chaplaincies and engaged
in educational work, besides 14 Lay Readers. The baptisms in 1885 were 6,684 ; the
confirmations in 1884 were 1,624 ; in 1885, 874 ; in 1886 (to date) 2,159 ; total, 4,657.
Ordinations in 1881-5, 2 Deacons and 2 Priests; in 1886 (to date) 2 Deacons and
2 Priests. There are 1 1 parish churches and 34 district chapels. Important legis-
lative alterations, affecting the status of the Clergy, and other Church questions are
impending.
Education. — The Island possesses the College founded in 1710 by 'General
Codrington, whose name it bears. It is administered by the S.P.G., who are the
trustees under his will, and it was affiliated in 1875 to the University of Durham.
Liberal provision is made throughout the Colony for education, under the control of
an Education Board, with an annual grant from the Colonial Legislature, limited to
15,000/. ITiere are 3 first grade and 5 second grade schools. The Church has 146
elementary schools, with 8,632 scholars ; the Wesleyans have^21, and the Momvians
20 schools, with 1,295 and 1,223 scholars respectively.
Finance. — The Church is established and salaried by the Colonial Legislature.
The Bishop receives 1,000/., the rectors 325/. with residence and glebe, and the
curates 200/. per annum, with, in some cases, a very small glebe, and either a house
or an allowance for rent. The offertories in 1884 produced 1,077/., IVi^ ^n^-i^hX.^

He«di.— A^ increased supply of Clct^ry to meet the rapidly Increasing population,
each Cl«rg;-man having on an average 4,000 sonb nnder his care ; also an aogmeDla-
tion of ceitajn coracics. for which at least 1,000^ is needed. A Diocesan Church
Fund was started at tho session of the Church Conncil for 1SS3, and hasTcachcl
the sum of 300/. per annum. Tliis has been raised in the island ; no appeal has yet
been made to the proprietor? living in England, for the reason mentioned above.
DiMM* at the Wittdward Uands.
CbsTOh Work.— This Diocese is divided into two Aichdeaconries— St. Vincent,
inclndin^ that island and the Greoailincs, and Orenada, including Tobe^. The
population is 101,002, of whom 4!I.BT7 are Church members, and 6,100 are com-
munioanls. There are 25 Clergy, 11 licensed Readers, and 82 charcbcs. The con-
UrmatioDs in 1SB4 were 940; in I8S5, 830,- and in 18S6, 703 — total. 2,473. 4 Deacons
and 2 Priests have been ordained. The educa'.ion is denominational, and is assisted
by Govenmient grants.
Fixanee.— In Grenada the Church is disestablished and disendowed, saving vested
interests ; in St. Vincent it is disestablished, but there is concurrent endowment, the
Wesleyans, Moravians, and Roman Catholics receiving aid according to their nnmber*.
The State aid is entirely withdrawn from Tobago, which is simply bankmpt. Tlie
B. P.O. have made a special grant of 2001 more for three years, which makes it certain
that for this period we shall have money to pay one clergyman, when there are three
large districts, and twelve places of worship. More than one. nnlcra wc can get more
aid, it viill be impossible to maintain, and we have hitherto had three Priests and a
Deacon in the island. In St. Vincent a severe hurricane on August 15 swept over
the Island, destroying live of our churches, tiesidcs schools and mission honaes. A
strong appeal has been made for aid from England, and in the other Dioceses, to
rebuild these. We can only pray and trust that this will not be withheld. Formerly
tho Church received a large amount of Imperial aid, bat as each vested rig^t lapser,
this is withdrawn, and in a few years it will be extinct. For tbo salaries of tho
Clergy, and for building and repairing churches, schools, and parsonages, the Cburdi
must depend on voluntary effort, wljich menns really the pence of the labouring
classes, who are very poor. There ore clmrches now standing unGnished, and schools
crumbling to ruin, for lack of funds, and complaints come in from all parishes as to
the difficulty of getting in the Susteotation yimd. Tlic Wesleyans and other bodies
receive aid from home, but we receive none, with the exception of a grant from tho
Cliristian Faitli Society. The S.P.G. hiw, however, made a grant of 200/. a year to
the Diocese, commencing from January 1 88.'>. Unless some assistance be ^ven, tho
position of the Anglican Church will become very critical when the Imperial grantii
ate ^1 withdrawn. The Bishop receives no salary beyond the payment of his travel-
ling expenses.
■bms. — Among other needs one of the most pressing is some provision for higher
education, of which there is practically none, except a grammar school for bnys in
Grenada. H. Barb&DOS, fee

DIOCESE OF BATHUSBT.
Qaneral Dsserlptioii. — This Diocese was formed in IS69 oot of
tho Dioceses of Sydney and Newcastle, in the area of New Sontli
Wales known as the Western Districts. A large district has this
year been taken away to form part of the new Diocese of Riverina.
founded by the Hon. Oeo:ge Cnmpbell, of Sydney. Pastoral por-
suits occupy a great nomlier of the people ; there are also gold and
copper mines, but the former are almost worked out, and the latler
are not now remnnerative, in consequence of the low price of the

DIOCESS OF BLOSXFOKTEIK.
0«nerftl Beteription. — This Diocese was founded in 1863, and
consists of the Orange Free State, Basutoland, Griqualand West,
and Bechuanaland ; the population of the first three of these divi-
sions is about 300,000, of whom perhaps half are natives ; that of
Bechuanaland is uncertain.
Church Work« — The Diocese is divided into 6 Rural Deaneries,
containing 14 parishes, 7 chapelries, and 6 mission stations. There
are 33 clergy (28 priests and 5 deacons), 1,818 communicants, and
1»200 paririiioners having a vote at vestry meetings. During the
past year 129 adults and 766 infants were baptised, and 176 persons were confirmed
at the Diamond Fields, by the Bishop of Pretoria, on account of the vacancy in the
See. St. Augustine's Brotherhood carries on missionary and parochial work, and
St. Michaers Sisterhood is engaged in educational work and hospital nursing in
Bloemfontein, Kimberley, and other places.
JdocatioiL— -There are 22 day schools in different parts of the Diocese, 3 night
schools^ and 23 Sunday Schools, the average attendance at each varying from 20
to 68.
TfaaaM. — The amount raised in the Diocese by offertories and subscriptions (ex-
dosiye of bazaars, and donations from friends in England) was 5,4792.
Prttdng Kaeds.— A new church at Beaconsfield (Griqualand West), and the pay-
ment of a debt of 3,600^ on the church at Kimberley ; also the enlargement of the
misnon school there, and the maintenance of a priest for district work. A Clergy
Snstentation Fund is another urgent need. The practical difficulty is that common to
the whole Colonial Church, namely, insufficiency of means. In order to do the work
properly, at least double the number of clergy and more than treble the present
income would be necessary, and that would still leave out of view the maintenance
of educational and other institutions.
Bloemfontein, S. Africa, November 4, 188D.
DIOCESE OF BOKBAT.
General Description. — This Diocese was separated from that of
Calcutta in 1832. It comprises the whole Presidency of Bombay,
except the Province of Sind, which was attached to the new Dio-
cese of Laliore in 1878 ; but the Bishop also visits several military
stations in Rajputana and Central India, not included in the Presi-
dency, as well as Aden in Arabia. The population, according to the
cenbus returns of 1881, was 14,040,591. of whom 12,003,603 were
Hindus, 1,133,027 Mahommedans, 215,033 Jains, 131,235 Christians,
71,002 Parsis, 7,799 Jews, 302 Buddhists, 124 Sikhs, 17 Brahmo
Somaj, 9 Unitarians, and 476,634 aboriginals.
Church Work. — Of the total Christian population of the Presi-
dency, only 16,636, or about 12 per cent., belong to the Church of England, and of
these, about half are British troops and their families ; of the remainder, by far the
larger number belong to the Church of Rome, many of them being of Goanese
descent, and tracing back their Christian parentage to the days of St. Francis Xavier.
The native Christians belonging to the Church of England were returned in the
census of 1881 as numbering only 2,563; no large increase is to be looked for,
unless the Mission Staff of the Diocese can be greatly strengthened. At present,
the Missionary Clergy amount to only 24 in actual residence, of whom but six are
natives of India ; 10 belong to the S.P.G., 8 to the C.M.S , and the remainder are
members of, or working vnth, the Society of St. John the Evangelist, commonly
known as • the Cowley Fathers.' Of the total strength r f the Diocese, 27 are chap-
lains on the Government establishment, and there arc 3 railway chaplains, and 1
240 ^ioccscs of ^omBas anb ^atcuHa,
harbonr chaplain. Tlic consecrated churches number 30, and there are 27 unconsc-
crated buildings in which service i» regularly held, besides 3 churches awaiting con-
Hccration. Last year 280 persons were confirmed, at 22 different centres.
Education. — The educational agencies of the Diocese are of three kinds, corre-
sponding to three different classes — {a) Middle-class Europeans and Eurasian; all
who can possibly afford it send their children to Europe for ctlucation. (A) Poor
Europeans and Eurasians, (r?) Native Christians.
The first class pay by far the larger part of their own educational expenses, aided
by liberal grants made at the public cost, according to results, and greatly benefited
by the fact that members of l)oth the sisterlioods mentioned below render services as
head-mistresses of high schools, such as no salary could buy. The agency for sub-
sidising schools of this class is the * Diocesan Board of Education/ through which
the S.P.C.K. has contributed to the building of schools in the Diocese. The annual
grants made by the Board to the schools affiliated to it amount to only 10*5 per
cent, of their total expenses. For the maintenance and education of poor children,
two organisations exist, besides the admirable Lawrenoe Asylum at Mount Abu, viz.,
the Bombay Education Society, which maintains 300 children in its schools at
Byculla, chiefly of pure European blood, and the Indo- British Institution, which
maintains 100, almost all of mixed descent. Mission schools are maintained by
the S.P.G., the C.M.S., the Society of St. John the Evangelist, and the Wantage
sisterhood. The total number of children under Church instruction in the Diocese
is 8,433, besides those who receive instruction from the Clergy in the undenomi-
national schools of every regiment and battery in the presidency.
Conyentaal EBtabliihments.— The Society of St. John the Evangelist has bouses
in Bombay and Poona. In Bombay, a poor European district is the centre of the
Society's work, but mission work is carried on in connection with the oi^nisation.
The work at Poona is of a purely missionary character. The Sisterhood of St. Mtay
the Virgin, Wantage, opened a branch at Poona in 1877. Besides maintaining St.
Mary*s Home, for native work of various kinds, hospital, education, &c, the Society
is in charge of, and supplies mistresses to St. Mary's High School for European girls
and infants. The Sisterhood of All Saints opened a house in Bombay in 1878.
The sisters nurse in the European and the largest native hospital, and are in charge
of, and supply mistresses to, the Cathedral and St. Peter's high schools for girls and
infants.
Needs. — Besides a large increase in the mission staff, the Diocese requires more
Clergy to overtake the neeils of the rapidly increasing railway population. The
shareholders of the Great Indian Peninsula lUilway Company have made munificent
contributions from their dividends, amounting, at different times, to 1,34,000 rupees,
for the endowment of chaplaincies for the Company's servants. One Clergyman has
long been subsidised out of the earlier grant of 34,000 rupees, and another was sent
out in January 1886 on the strength of the recent grant of a lakh. A third is
expected. This will still leave, however, two large railway centres dependent on
occasional visits from Clergy resident elsewhere.
One large high school is still without a building of its own, and that of another
is still incomplete.

DIOCESE OF CALCUTTA.
General Description.— This diocese was founded in 1814, and
now consists of the Provinces of Bengal and Assam, the Korth-
AVest Provinces, Oudh, the Central Provinces and Central India,
being 1,600 miles long by 500 broad. The languages spoken are
Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, and Assamese, besides dialects of aborigixial
tribes.
Chnrch Work.— There are 211 European c<>ngregations of the
Church of England, under the spiritual charge of 93 Clergy, of
whom 62 are on the Bengal Ecclesiastical Establishment^ serving
121 stations, and 31, not on the Establishment, serve 90 stations.
The mission work is carried on principally by the S.P.G. and C.M.S.
'pioceses of @a(cuiia and ^aUbonia. 241
The nninber of native ChHetians cnntiectcl with tbe Chiircli of England is reckoned
Kt 31^9. and the Dumber of communicants at ll,66.'i. These are under tlie spirilual
charge of 61 native Cler^, and GO Hiiropean and East Indian Clergy, An importaot
step in orgaoiEation has been taken by the formation of a Dioceasji Council, which
waa dedded upon at a Diocesan Conference held in January, 1885. This Council is
iDt«Dded to be a deliberative and admim)<trative bod;, to assist the Bishop in dealing
with itU Church affairs. It is at present working as a proviaional measure, but at
the next Conference a more perfect constitution will be adopted, which will secure
wleqaate representation to each European and Kativo conerce>^tion in the Diocese.
An important result of this new step is that the S.P.C. have consented to place Ihe
numagement and control of the Missions which they support in the Diocese, entirely
■a the hands of this Conncil.
Xdnaatlon.— The number of children under instroction in the S.P.G. schools
is 3,639, at whom 1,631 are Christian, and 2,108 non-Christian. In the C.M.8.
* schools are £,TTI Christian, and 0,607 non-Chriatian children. There are also large
and inlportant schools for European and East Indian children at Calcutta, Allabab^,
And several other places, which have been developed and assisted by the Diocesan
Board of Education, aided by generous grants from Ihc S.l'.C.K. In these Bchoola
1,717 children are educated. ISesides tliese there are many schools, not entirely
connected with the Church of England, which contain a large number of children.
The introduction of a new code for ?iuropean schools, based npon the one in forco
in Eoglsud, will give a fresh stimulus to eduiation, and is making the institaliun
of a Training College, both for men and women, a most urgent necessity.
nnaac*. — Fonrteen Clergy are snpported by the Additional Cterjry Society, aided
by (lovenment, and four by the planters in the ten districts. A Dioccran
Board of Finance has been established, which underlaltes the management of most
of the Diocesan Funds and Societies. Tlie invested faiids are about 60,000'., the
interest of which, together with subscriptions and offertories, is available for various
■ocieties, and is distributed by (he Diocesan Board. An asociation has lately been
formed in England, called the ' Indian Church Aid Association,' the object of which
is to baild up and strengthen the Church In India. This affords an excellent channel
through which people resident in England can help the Indian Church with offerings
and gifts. Archdeaoon Baly, Kew Uar<lcns, Surrey, will give every information on
■aada. — The most pressing need ts the living agency, and money to support it.
IVhether we regard the mission-Iield, education, hospitals, districts existing in
the large towns and stations, or look at pcnitentinrics or orphanages which it
la drairable to establish, the cry is for men and women who will come forth and
devote themselvcB to God's work, and carry on the teaching of the English Church
in His name. Nor is the need of money much less. The European in India is less
tied to the country than his predecessors were ; England is nearer, journeys thither
an more frequent, expenses in India arc increased ; we no longer hear of the msgnl-
ficent gifts that were made in old time to educational and other institutions, and we
have to fall back on England now to snpply the growing wants of the coontry,
and to extend the teaching of the kingdom of God to both the European and the
native. Edward H. Calcctta.

SIOCEBE OF CALEDOVU.
Oeneral Description, - This Diocese was founded in 1870, and
comprises the whole of British Columliia north of the Salmon
and Nechfico Rivers, and Fort (ieorgc on Ihc Frasor, The country
is moimtainoas and covered with timber. The sea abounds with
tish, and the forests with fur.bcaring animals. Cold is found
in many creeks that How into the Skecna, Kass, and Stickine
r.ivors. Excellent coal has also been discovereil. The climate
on the const is remarkably mild and equable, but moist. Until
the projected railway from Winnipeg to Fort Sinjpson, by the
Peace River Pass, is completed, this Diocese is not an inviting

seek homes here. There is a larp:e and intelligent Indian i>opu1nlioD, which, under
prudent direction, will hv helpful in dcvolopinjf the resources of the country. At
present many of ihcm are seriou.sly <lisaflfecte<l towards the (iovernment, and c«»ii>e-
quently missionary effort is greatly impeded.
Chureli Work.^The work in this Diocese is entirely missionary. One Clerg3'man
is provided by the Society for tlie Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts to
minister to the white ix)pulation, and the Church Missionary Society provides 5
Clergy for the Indians, and also the Bishop's income. There is no endowment. The
latter Society also pro\'idi>s 2 lay Kuro]>ean Missionaries, and 6 native Catechists.
This year translations of the four Gosj>cls have been printed in Zimshiam. Four
native lang^uages have been rednce<l to i^-riting during the last three years, and
])ortions of Holy Scriptures, of the Prayer- Book, and some hymns, have been or arc
being printed.
Beedi. — Another missionary is much neediMl for the whites ; also funds for en-
dowing the see, for erecting a training school, and building several churches.

DIOCESE OF CAPEIOWH.
General Description. — This Diocese embraces tlic western por-
tion of the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, and covers an
area of about the same magnitude as Great Britain. It is the
Metropolitical See of the Province of South Africa, and was
fo:inded in 1847, being then the only Diocese in South Africa,
and embracing the whole of the present Province. Tlie popula-
tion is 278,918, of whom 45,000 are Church people. Tlie work
may be classed under two heads — that among European residents
or sojourners, and that among the natives of the country,
Hottentots, Kafirs, Dainai*as, Basutos, Mantatees, and above all
mixed races, who are scattered over every part of the Diocese.
There are also some 7,{M)0 or 8,000 Mahomedans, mostly Alalays, descendants of
slaves brought from Batavin more than a century ago, who form a most important and
influential element in the population. The white jwpulation is in the main essentially
Dutch, and the land is almost entirely owned by members of the Dutch lleformeil
Church. The Cape is a wine and wool producina: country, and some parts of it are
rich in all kinds of fruit and vegetation, for which, however, there is not sufficient
market. The climate is delightful.
Church Work.— There arc 41 churches and .")0 school chapels; and 83 church
schools and 36 parsonages. The Clergy number 63, and there is a large staff of cate-
chists. Several churches and schools have recently been built, and others beautified
and enlarged. The average number confirmed of late years has been about 900, and
the communicants of the Diocese amount to 6,700, so far as the returns have been
sent in. The average attendance at Sunday school is 3,328, or S'^ per cent, of the
number on the registers. The average attendance at church each Sunday is 12,500.
Education. — The Diocesan College at Kondebosch was founded by Bishop Gray,
in 1849, for the purpose o! providing higher education on Church principles. Tlio
Rev. J. E. Sedgwick, M.A., has been appointed Principal. The average number of
students for the last few years has been 100. A Kafir College was also founded
by Bishop Gray, in 1851, at Zonuebloem, for the general education and industrial
training of the natives, of whom there are at present 30 in the College. At Wynberg
there is a school for girls of the upper class, boarders and day schohirs. In Capetown
there is a Cathedral Choir School for boys, a High School and Middle Class Schools
for girls, besides a School of Industry and the Parochial Mission Schools. There is
also St. George's Home for Penitents, and St. Michael's Home for destitute children,
under the charge of the Sisters of All Saints, and the St. George's Orphanage under
the direction of Miss Arthur. There are other schools also of various kinds in con-
nection with the Church.
Finance.— The average amount raised within the Diocese, for all Church purposes,
during the last four years has been 16,000/. Funds, hnwcvcr, arc urgently ncedel, an

DIOCXBS or XID-CHIIIA.
Oeaaral DMerlptlon.— In 1B72, on the consecration of Bidop
Russell, the portion of China north of the 2Sth parallel of
north latitude was constituted the Diocese of North China ; in
1880 the six northern provinces were asaigued to Bishop SciDtt,
nder the name of North China, while the remaining eight
prorinces, or portions of proTinees, Keangsn, Nganhwei, Che-
keang, Eeangsi, llupch. Hunan, Szcchucn, and Kweichow, with
an area of about 360,000 square miles, were formed into the
Diocese of Mid-China. The Chinese population caitnot be Icsa
than 100,000,000, and probably ia much more.
Chnnh Wnk.— The native members of the Church number
880 ; the Europeans perhaps 600. At the date of the hist annual
report the communicants among the Chincae were 450, among
tbo resident Enropeana perhaps 100. At Shanghae the largest nomber of commu-
nicants at one time was 64. Tlicrc are 10 European Clergy^l chaplain and 8 mis-
Honaiics — and 1 Chinese; the cat«chisls and Christian schoolmasters number H,
The baptisms in the year under review— t)ct. 1883 to Sept. 30, 1884— were 86 among

private houses, where for the present the Liturgy is read and the Sacraments aro
administered. Missionaries arc stationed at Hangchow (ptoiiDoial capital of Cbc'
heang), where the iiidliop resides, at Kingpoand Shaohing (departmental cities of the
same province), and at Shanghae, a district cilf of Kcangsii, and the chief port for
foreign trade. Two of the four native priests reside at Ningpo, and (wo at Bub-
Eduoation.— There is no Church education for Europeans, except the Sunday school
of Shanghae Cathedral, with 30 scholars, not of the poorer class. For Chinese, there
are 22 mission schools with 300 scholars ; of these oil but 3 are day ».!hooIs,andmrrc
than half the scholars are heathen boys. At Xiugpo are '2 boaiding schools, oi^o
under the Ecv. J. C. Hoate, ciiiofiy for the sons of Clirislians, with a theological de-
partment attached, containing 30 scholars and •soiuinarists; ' the other under Miss
Lawrence, for the daughters of Christians and others, with upwards of 30 pupiU.
A boarding school for daoKhters of Christians has bccu commenced at Hangchow,
under the care at the Biiibop's wife, in which there arc 15 hoar>lur?i, hesiilcs i day

Finance. — The extreme depression of trade has affected the ability of theShanghae
Church community to contribute for religious purposes. The offertories during the
year for Church expenses, alms and missionary work, amounted to about 285/. This
was over and above the regular subscriptions to the Church Fund. The native
Christians contributed about 60/. towards the cost of their pastoral system.
lliis notice of the Diocese would not be complete without mention of the very
important Medical mission at Hangchow, in the province of Chekeang, wlddi was
originally started with funds given by an Indian civilian many yean ago, as mn
expression of his regret at having been connected officially with the C^mn Depart-
ment. In reference to this work, it was stated in the last report that Hospital
accommodation proving inadequate, a grant had been procured from the Tmetoes
of the ' William Cliarlcs Jones Fund ' (administered by the C.M.S.) for tJbe eridfon
of a new building. A really admirable building was accordingly completed in the
spring of the present year, and opened to patients at the end of April. It accom-
modates some 56 male and 14 female patients, and for ventilation and other
advantages would compare well with good hospitals at home. A considerable
number of beds is allotted to patients seeking cure of the opium habit. The
patients are classified according to means, though the comfort of their bedding, &c
is nearly the same throughout, and sums ranging from one dollar (8«. id,) to ten
dollars a month are charged for board. In the lower grades this has, of ooone, to
be supplemented by private charity, and some patients are admitted grataitonaly.
Towards the expenses of building, which exceeded the grant of 1,700/. referred to
above, the high Mandarins of the province contributed some J^450 (upwards of 801.).
Dr. Main, hitherto single-handed, besides the charge of this hospital, with two
days a week for out-patients, and attendance on many private patients amongst the
other missionary residents (chiefly American Presbyterians^ and the natives, has
commenced the training of nine native Christian pupils, of whom the elder three
already assist in the details of hospital work. Dr. Main will gladly receive help
towards the free admission of poor in-patients. For this object, as well as for that
of the steadily increasing girls* boarding school at Hangchow, contributions may be
sent to the Re^. C. F. Powys, Dorchester, for * Bishop Moule's Fund,' specifying the
object for which they are intended. q g MOULB, BUkop.

DIOOSSS OF NOBTH CHIHA.
ZWm\ General Description.— This Diocese was founded in 1880, and
'mHk consists of the six northern provinces of China, namely, Peohili,
^^y Shantung, Shansi, Honan, Shensi, and Kansu, a district containing
_jm0 "< jjl jLl * 398,433 square miles, or about seven times the area of England.
The population is something between sixty and eighty millions, or
possibly more — none can say. The character of the country is
chiefly agricultural, and straw-plait is also prepared for foreign
markets.
Church Work.~ There are 140 Chinese members of the Qmroh
of England, and 83 communicants — 48 Chinese and 35 foreigners.
--miU0^ There are 4 buildings used for worship, 2 mission stations, and 3
out-stations. The Cleigy number 4, and there are also 2 native
sub-deacons. In' 1884, 6 Chinese and 1 foreigrner were baptised; 8 Chinese and I
foreigner were confirmed. There is a boarding school for Christian boys, a day
school for heathen boys, and also a Sunday school—about 20 children are under
instruction. There is a day school and a Sunday school, each containing 13 scholars.
About 65L was raised in the Diocese last year. An English candidate for Holy
Orders has been studying Chinese in the Diocese, and two more in England.
Keeds. — A doctor to start hospital work at Peking, Chefoo, or in the interior, as
may seem best; two priests for the mission work at Peking and in the neighbourhood ;
two or more deaconesses, or other lady workers, to open schools for Christian girls in
Peking, and^to work among Chinese women in town and country.

BIOCSSS OF CHBISTCHTTBCH.
General Deseription. — This Diocese was founded in 1856, the
Right Bev. Henry John Chittj Harper being consecrated first
Bishop in that year ; in 1868 he was elected Primate of New Zea-
land by the General Synod of the Province. Christchurch Cathedral
was consecrated in 1881 ; it consists at present of nave, two aisles »
tower and spire with ten bells, and a temporary apse. Transepts
and a permanent chancel have yet to be added to complete the
design. The Diocese forms part of the middle island of Kew Zea-
land, and is bounded on the north by the river Homnui, from its
mouth to its source ; thence by a straight line to the source of the
Teremakau, thence following this river to its mouth ; towards the north-west by the
ooAst-line, including the adjacent islands ; towards the south and west by the Awarua,
and from its source by a line drawn to that of the Waitangi ; thence by the course
of that river, and towards the south and east by the coast- line, including the adja-
cent ialands and the Chatham Islands. The principal occupations are sheep-farm-
ing, agriculture, the manufacture of woollen cloth, leather, boots and shoes, sheep-
skin mats, rope and twine, pottery and bricks, iron founding, saw milling, and the
coiigting trade. The population is 131,609, exclusive of 716 Maoris.
Chvek Work. — The number of Church members as shown by the last census
(March 1886) was 62,434. The communicants are returned as 4,184, but may fairly be
estimated at about 5,000, the returns being incomplete. The baptisms in the year ending
with Easter 1885 were : public, 1,691, private, 211 ; the confirmations 716, the ordina-
tions 3. The Clergy of the Diocese are 62 (besides the Bishop), and there are 107
licensed lay readers, holding services in different localities; one native Deacon,
acting nnder the superintendence of an English Priest who speaks the language,
ministers among the Maoris ; and 4 native lay readers are licensed to conduct ser-
vices among their own people. The cathedral staff consists of a dean, 5 canons and
1 minor canon, 6 lay clerks, and 16 boy choristers receiving free education, and in
most cases free board also. A Diocesan Synod, consisting of the Bishop, the licensed
Cleigy, and lay representatives from the electoral districts (at present 52), meets
annually for the transaction of business, and a standing committee acts for the
Synod, when the latter is not in session. There is also a • Church Work Society,'
having for its object the maintenance of chaplains for reformatories, gaols, hospitals,
asylums, and harbours, the promotion of religious education and foreign missions.
The ' Cathedral Union ' (for men) aims at promoting the religious life of its mem-
bers ; and the Churchmen's Club promotes friendly intercourse among Churchmen.
A Girls' Friendly Society is also doing good work ; and recently a * St. Catherine's
Home ' has been established in connection with it.
SdaoaUon. — Christ's College, Christchurch, consists of an upper and a lower depart-
ment. The principal of the former, which is also a training school in theology for
candidates for Holy Orders, is the Rev. Canon Stanford, M.A., who resides near the
ooU^e. The annual value of the endowments is 3,600^; exhibitions are given to
the sons of Clergy, and other scholarships are obtainable by examination. There are 85
Sunday schools, with about 7,600 scholars, and an average attendance of 4,800. Church
day schools are for the most part impossible, in the face of a Government system
of free education, but in four instances parochial schools have been carried on. The
school conmiittees have power to admit or repel Clergymen, or other persons, who
apply for leave to give religious instruction, and in many cases admission has been
granted. In all other respects the system is secular only. The Diocesan Education
Committee maintains a yearly examination in, and offers prizes for, religious know-
ledge. In 1866, 166 candidates presented themselves, 55 of whom fulfilled the con-
ditions requisite to gain a prize, and others received certificates signed by the Bishop.
There is a Diocesan Book Depot for the sale of Church publications at low prices,
especially of such books, &c., as are useful in parochial and Sunday-school work.
Finance. — The following sums have been raised in the Diocese during the year
ending March 31, 1886 :— For support of Clergy and Lay Helpers, 15,229/. ; for build-
ing Churches, Mission-rooms, Schools, and Parsonages, 1,335/.; for education, 120/.;
and for charitable work in general — such as hospitals, orphanages, &c. — 220/. But

asylums, refuges, &c.

DIOCESE OF COLUMBU.
General Deicription.— This Diocese was founded in 1850; the
Diocese of Caledonia was separated from it in 1879, and in the same
3'ear the Diocese of New Westminster also was formed out of it.
g^^m^^^ I^ i^ow comprises Vancouver Island and the adjacent islands, and
^QQ[nBL has an area of 1G,000 square miles, being about 290 miles in
gBBS^ESk l^i^^^^t by from 50 to 70 in breadth. It is bounded on the north
/ ^^ ^ {^ by the Diocese of Caledonia, on the east by that of New West-
I Pfl^ J minster, on the west b}' the Pacitic Ocean, and on the south by
kJTSL^/ the Straits of Juan dc Fuca, which separate it from the Diocese of
^^"^^ Washington Territory in the United States. Its position on the
American continent is similar to that which England occupies in
reference to Europe, having the same latitude, and much the same climate and
seasons. Agriculture, coal mining, iron foundries, lumber mills, leather factories,
shipbuilding, salmon and seal fisheries, employ most of the people. Tlie population,
including all races, is about 27,000.
Chareli Work. — In this Diocese is situated Victoria, the capital of British Colum-
bia, two parishes of which are self-supporting, and a third has recently been formed.
Nanaimo, the chief scat of coal mining, is also in the Diocese, and the Church there
is now self-supporting. The statistics for 1885 are :— Clergj', 13; chnrchcs, 17;
|)arishes and mission stations, 20 ; communicants, C91 ; baptisms, 139 ; persons
confirmed, 77; amount raised in the Diocese for Church purposes, 3,014/. Tlie
Mission to the Quoquolt Indians, at Alert Bay, is supported by the C.M.S., which
has recently sent out a catechist to assist the missionary, and to take chaige of an
adjoining station. Fort Rupert. Two of the Gospels have been translated into the
native language. A Diocesan Synod was formed in 1876, and meets annually.
Three churches have recently been consecrated, several additional mission stations
are now supplied, and 2 new Sunday schcoLj 1 ave been opened during the past year.
Education.— The College School for boys was under the charge of the Rev, C. H.
Badgley, M.A. of Queen's College, Oxford, until Midsummer, 1885, when he resigned
the Headmastership, which is at present vacant, Angela College for girls is also in
connection with the Church of England. There are native schools at Alert Bay for
girU and boys.
Needi. — The completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway and of the Island Rail-
way, between Victoria and Nanaimo, have attmcted, and are still attracting, many
immigrants. Besides the increasing number of emigrant settlers, there are many
Indians and Chinese for whom no spiritual provision is made. Without aid from the
mother Church the existing Mission work cannot be sustained, still less can new work
be undertaken. Aid is needed for the support of thirteen missionary Clergy. In con-
sequence of all assistance from the S.P.G. having been withdrawn, a lay committee of
leading CTiurchmen reported the nece.««ity of retiring from several important missions.
To avoid so painful a calamity, the Bishop has for the present personally guaranteed
the payment of a certain sum to enable the Mission Board to meet the reduced sti-
pends, hoping for generous help of friends in England. Six churches are needed.
The College School buildings were recently destroyed by fire, and it is proposetl to
erect, in or near Victoria, new buildings for school and college, which shall be avail-
able, not only for the whole of British Columbia, but for part of the North-Wost
Territory east of the Rocky Mountains, the climate of Victoria being mild and salu-
brious at all seasons. For this important work the aid of the venerable Society for
Promoting Christian Knowledge is hoped for.

DIOCESE OF COLOMBO.
a^ General Deicription.—This Diocese was founded in 1845, and com-
^B prises the Island of Ceylon, with a population of about 2,500,000.
^^^^^ Churoli Work. — Tlic adult members of the Church (i.e. those
^■■■■■S^ over 15) were computed by an unofficial census, taken in 1882, to
JjBBSIOfk ^ 15,000, but probably this is a little under the number. There
•I A ^ are 53 Priests and 12 Deacons in the Diocese ; 25 licensed Catcchists
/ TT I and 35 Lay Headers (besides a great many unlicensefl) ; 36 conse-
V ^y J crated churches, and 63 other churches and chajx-ls, and rather
^***^P^ more than 200 church and missionar}" schools.
Finance. — The Colonial Government contributed in the year 1885
abont 5,000/., the S P.G. 1,650/., and the C.M.S. about 8,080/. The local contributions
were, in round numbers, 580/. for the Diocesan Fund, 410/. for the S.P.G., and 2,000/.
for the C.M.S. ; and other offertories and contributions in S.P.(J. and Diocesan
])arishcs, for parochial puri)Oses, for church building'. Clergy's stijxjnds, &c., pro<luce<l
about 3,000/.
The contributions of Government have now (July 1880) ceased, except in regard
to the stipends of the Bishop and Clergy appointed before July 1881, and no new
appointments are henceforth to be made. During the five years 1881-1886 there
have been raised (including contributions from societies and persons in England)
for the Bishopric Endowment about 5,500/. ; for local endowments alx)ut 3,000/.

DIOCESE OF DUKEDIK.
Mm General Deicription.— This See was founded in 1868 by an Act
^1^ of the General Synod, by which it was cut off from that of ( ■hrist-
' Uy . church ; but, in accordance with a clause in the statute, the Bishop
.•^^Wl^^*» of Christchurch continuerl to exercise episcopal authority in the
Diocese until the present Bishop was appointed in 1871. The
Diocese comprises the soutliern jx)rtion of the middle island of New
Zealand, together with Stewart's Island (sometimes called the
South Island), and is conterminous v/ith the provincial district of
Otago. It is surrounded by water on all sides except the north, and
its area is little less than that of Ireland. The population at the
last census was lil),154, of whom 30,714, or 26 per cent., recorded
themselves as members of the Church of England. There are 800
Maofis, and perhaps as many Chinese. The country people are small settlers, on the
defcrre<l pajnnent system, and verj-poor; local industries have not yet been esta-
blished, except one or two cloth factories. Immigration is now very small, (Govern-
ment aid having been withdrawn.
Chnrch Work. — The Clergy (including the Bishop) number 22, and there are 44
charches, including 2 for the native race, besides some unconsecrated buildings.
More .systematic armngements arc now made for the conduct of .ser\'ices for the
Maoris, a gentleman who was ordained deacon during the year giving himself
specially to the work.
Heeds. — Tliere is as yet neither See House nor Cathedral. The Bishop has raised
about 2.000/. towards the support of missionary Clergy, and the same amount
towards the foundation of a theological tutorship, which is greatly needed. No
endowment, either in money or land, was given at the foundation of the See, even
church sites having to be purcha.scd in open market. Tlie Bishop would gratefully
acknowledge help tow}u*ds the General Clergy Maintenance Fund, or the Theological
Tutorship Endowment Fund. The maintenance of the Clergy, which has to be
drawn year by year entirely from the people, has been most (lithcidt of late years,
owing to the severe commercial depression, and their sutTerings have been great.
S<:)me have had to resign their posts, leaving large and populated areas without the
ministrations of our Church, and several others arc holding on painfully, receiving a
few pounds at a time. Very great liberality has, however, been shown by the very
few who have money, in reducing the debts contracted on churches in more prosperoui
times.

DIOCESE OF PREDSBICTOK.
General Detcription. — This Diocese was founded in 1815, before
which time it formed part of the Diocese of Nova Scotia. It com-
prises the whole of the civil province of New Brunswick, and is
bounded on the North by the Province of Quebec, on the Bast by
the Gulf of St. Tiawrence, on the South by the Bay of Fundy, and
on the West by the State of Maine^ (U.S.). A narrow isthmus,
about 15 miles across in its narrowest part, joins it on the south-
east to the province of Xova Scotia. The area is 27,174 square mlleff,
and the population, according to the census of 1881, was 321,228.
Hitherto the chief trade has been in timber, but now the besi
trees have been cut down, and more attention is turned to farming operatkmft.
Thjre is very line land for farming jmrposes, a large proportion of which is still un-
occupied. The tisheries are very valuable, and large numbers of salmon are froaen
down for the Boston and New York markets ; game is plentiful in the winter, and is
disposed of in the same wiiy. Coal exists, but it is near the surface, and not of good
quality ; minerals abound, and good stone is plentiful, especially granite, a beautiful
pink variety of which is in great repute. Manufactories are now springing up, and
there are five cotton mills, beside shoe factories and other indostries.
Immigration. — The position of New Brunswick is not favourable to immigration.
The stream of immign^nts from Europe divides into two main portions, passing
respectively north and south of the province. The great river St. Lawrence, with
the wealthy and populous towns on its banks, and the great chain of Canadian
lakes, with the rich North-west prairie lands, attract emigrants on the North, while
the pushing industries and untiring enterprise of the United States draw off otliers
to the South, so that the really valuable lands in New Brunswick have been too much
overlooked. The excitement caused by the reports from Manitoba has caused a
temporary exodus from this province, though in some cases emigrants have returned
poorer than when they wont.
Church Work.— In the religious census of 1881,46,768 persons registered them-
selves as members of the Church ; in 1S85 there were 5,50i communicants, and 820
persons were confirmed. There are G.3 Clergy engaged in parochial and mission work ;
four have retired from active work, and two occupy official posts, one ns chaplain txi
the Penitentiary, and one as warden of an Orphanage. There are 147 consecrat<Kl
churches, or chapels of ease, and 08 mission stations.
Finance. —No grants are made by the State. The amount raised for Church
work generally is l,231i/., not including what is raised for Church building and
repair, and onlinary expenses. The laity contribute 2,ii80/. towards the salaries of
the Clergy, and the Diocesan Church Society 8,3.33/., in addition to which there are
19 self-supporting parishes. There is an invested sum of 22,797/., consisting of
various gifts and legacies, and annual s'»b.scriptions and collections produce l,42.H/.
for the Dioce-an Church Society, 3,51)3/. tor tlie Widows' and Orphans' Fund, 304"»/.
for the education of sons of the Clergy. A strong eifort is being made to form an
endowment for Divinity Scholarships, and for this purpose two funds have l)eon
started, one to increase the endowment provided by the Church Society, and another,
called the Medley Scholarship Fund, as a memorial to the Bishop. The superannua-
tion fund has been largely increased lately, and now amounts to 1,710/.
Education. — At present unsectarian education is provided by the Government
for all who will receive it. A Society was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1819
for maintaining elementary Church Schools on the • Madras system,' introduced by
Dr. Bell. Its funds are not large, though they have been somewhat increased by
legacies and donations ; but there are three good schools in connection with this
corporation, and one or two more maintain a precarious existence. This is the only
attempt at Church Day Schools. In 1882 there were about 90 Sunday Schools, with
about 6,000 children on the registers. The Missionaries have to travel such great
distances on Sundays, and the GhuTch people are so scattered, that Sunday Schools
are a grave difficulty in the country districts.
Veedi. — There is great need of Church Schools for boj s and girls ; if such a school
were founded (especially for girls) it would meet a great want, and we hope it
l^tocese of (^raffon anb |lrmi5ale. 249
would snooeeed. There ia also pressing need of one or two travelling Missionaries to
visit outlying settlements.

BIOCSSS OF G&AFTOV AKD AKIODALX.
J* General Beieription. — This Diocese is bounded on the north by
^B^ Qnecnsland, on the east by the sea, on the west by the Diocese of
fBP Bathnrst and by Queensland, and on the south by the Liverpool
^a^JBB^^ range. The popnlation in 1 87 1 was about 53,000, and is now probably
not less than 75,000, but owing to the destruction of the Census
papers of 1881 by a lire in Sydney, these figures are only con-
jectural, and the proportion of Church members given below would
have to be much increased.
Grafton is on the Clarence River, and is fifty miles from the
sea by water, but less than twenty-four in a direct line, and is the
centre of a large and increasing population. Its growth has been
rapid* like that of most Australian towns, its situation on the banks of a mag^nificent
river having materially aided its advancement. Sugar-growing has of late years
studded bo& banks of the Clarence with comfortable homesteads, while farther back
are the aqoatten' 'runs,' stocked with cattle, for which there is a market at the meat-
preaerving works at Ramomie, about nine miles from Grafton. Cattle are also
shipped to Sydney, where from their superior quality they realise very high prices.
The oUmate is decidedly hot, and rather moist, the winter being ver^' enjoyable;
frosts do oocnr, but are not usually severe ; snow seems never to have fallen.
The first traces of Church work on the Clarence seem to date from about 1843,
when it belonged to the Diocese of Sydney. A few years later the district became
part of the newly formed Diocese of Newcastle, and in 18G5 it was erected, with
Armidale, into a separate See. A new cathedral church was opened with much
rejoicing and manifestation of the interest felt by the community, on July 25, 1884,
the Most Rev. the Primate being present. There is a debt of about 2,000/. on the
boilding, on which there is yet moch to be done, both inside and outside, and it lias
also to be extended to the full size of the original design.
Amidale. — ^This town, the capital of New England, is very prettily situated,
stretching up the hills on either side of a creek. The climate is indicated by the
name of the table-land of which the town is the centre — New England. The summer
is warm, but sufiSciently cool to attract those who live in the lower country, as the
summer nights are always pleasantly cool : all English fruit will grow and bear
abondantly, but some plants, owing to the warmth of the winter days compare<l with
the cold of the nights, will not stand out of doors. The winter nights are cold, and
few seasons pass without a goo<l fall of snow.
New England was formerly part of tlie Diocese of Sydney, but in 1847 was included
in Newcastle, and in 1865 became, with Grafton, a separate See. The Church school
(now St. Peter's Guild Hall), where services were held at long intervals, was among
the very earliest productions of architecture at Armidale. The present cathedral
church, a substantial, seemly, and suitable building of brick, on granite foundations,
was erected in 1875 at a cost of 8,<XX)/. It is now clear of debt, and a tower and
other improvements are in contemplation. The Bishop resides in a house of his own
at Armidale.
Church Work. — The number of Church members in the whole Diocese averages
about 49 per cent, of the i:x)pulation ; in 1871 it was 26,000, of whom probably one-
tenth were communicants. There are 23 Clergy, and as many parishes. The Diocese
is divided into two Archdeaconries— Grafton, under the V'en. C C. Greenway ; and
Armidale, under the Ven. Jas. Ross. The liishop resides part of the year at Grafton,
and part at Armidale. Each parish elects a Parochml Church Council, and each out-
lying congregation a District Committee. The machinery for Church work by the
laity is of a complete character, and jjives ground for hope of satisfactory results. A
Clergy Widows' Fund has been established, and the Board of Administration makes a
yearly report, which is presented at each session of the Synod.
Training of Clergy. —There is no Training College, but young men of promise are
250 "piocciic of ^vaf^am&iown.
plnced with the Clerg? in tbe larger towoa, and trained for porocliia] worlr, and in

The standard of qualification for the Priesthood was not' lowered in any wnr

Loosl Erentt.— During the past year on arrangement has lieen linptuly concluded
by which a grievous schism lia^ been healed, and the old Cnthcdial ChnToh restored
to its Diocesan position, Kt. Oeor^e'a Churcii was built previously to the extension
of the Episcopate to Soath Africa, and, litte other Churches of that day, similarly
situated, a Government ordinance was fratoed providing for the control and manage-
ment o[ the bailding, as the Parish Church of Grahamstown, by (he 'officiating
minister ' for the time being, nnd a select Vestry. Subsequently, on the appointment
of the first llishop of Oraluunstnwn, Kt. George's Church was assigneil under Letters
nLtant as his Cathedral, and at the snmctimc by an Act of thcLe^slaturetiie Bishop
was constituted trustee of tbe properly. The Letters Patent Laving been afterwanls
BfHrmed to l>e «lfra riret, the ijouth African ChuTob was compelled to organise itself,
OS an integral portion of the Anglican Communion, under its own Canons nnd Con-
Rtitution. Thus, when Bishop Mcrrimun felt it to be his duty to bring Dr. Williams,
who was Dean and Colonial Chaplain ns welt as Incumbent, nnder ecelesisstical
discipline, the qncstion was raised as to the legal right of the Bishop to eject the
ofliciating minister by virtno of the Canons of the Provincial Synod, and to claim
possession of the building. The Privy Council, conlirmingajudgment of the Supreme
Court of the Colony, refused tlie Bishop's claim of ejectment and possession mainly
on the ground that a clause in the Constitution— the 3nl I'toviso— involved discon-
nection from the Church of England, llishop tlerriman tlien abandoned St. Georgc'.'i
Cliurch, nud adopted as his pro-Cnthedral .1 churcii which was also controlled by a
special an<l peculiar trust. After his dcatli, at the last. Provincial Synod a resolution
was pBKsed authorising tlio Bishoi« to administer Church of England property in
accordance with the trust-deeds. Bishop Webb was etccte<1 Itiiihop of Grahamstown,
St. George's Vestry expressing concurrence in the election, and finally in August last
year Dr, Williams also died. A real desire for peace and reunion was then mani-
fested on all siilcs ; negotiations were openeil which resulted in the Vestry assenting
to the Bishop becoming, for legal puipcscs, 'ofBciating minister' in terms ot tlie
ordinance as well as Ordinary and Trustee, and thus obtaining such control ns wouM
provide for exercise of discipline, and the due status of the Cathedral Chapter and
Clergy, Tlic Bishop, on his part, undertook to govern tlic Cathedral as required by
the Trust under sanction of the special rcsolnlion of the Provincial 8ynod, and
further to propose such a substitute for the Proviso ns might remove the difficulties
which prevent the recognition oE the Church ot the Province as in connection with
the mother Church, and would, at the same time, conserve the lital and fundamental
principles of spiritual Independence in matters ot faith and doctrine. The Bishop
has been advised by high l^al authority that the clause which he is prepared to
■nbmit to the Provincial Synod, in place of the Proviso, ini-olvcs no sacrilice of such
^toccdcs of i^vaf^amstown anb (^uimta. 251
principles. It is hoped that at least some barrier in the way of lec^islation in the
Colony, as recommended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, may be removed. The
operation of the agreement has been so far eminently satisfactor>', and the union of
Churchmen and Diocesan Clergy as well as the function of a Cathedral Church were
remarkably exhibited at the ordination of five Priests on Trinity Sunday, and at the
recent successful Festival of Choirs. The Church possesses a noble tower and peal of
eight bells, but the nave and choir are exceedingly mean and dilapidated. A sum
of 15,0002. will be needed to rebuild these jwrtions in accordance with the designs of
the late Sir Gilbert Scott, the architect of the tower. It is proposed to collect funds
first of all for the sanctuary and choir, which might probably be well built for 5,000/.
The Diocese is now too poor io secure such a sum without external help.
Veedi. — 1. Cathedral choir and nave. 2. Clergy Snstentation Fund. During the
last year Colonial Chaplaincy Grants to the extent of 500/. a year have lapsed. In

DIOCESE OF OUIAKA.
General Deioription. — Guiana was once part of the Diocese of
Barbados, but was erected into a separate See in 1842, when the pre-
sent Bishop (then Archdeacon), Dr. William Piercy Austin, was con-
secrated. British Guiana is the part of Guiana (or the * Wild Coast ')
which lies between Venezuela and the river Corentyn ; its sea-coast
is about 280 miles long, and it stretches inland for a distance varying
'■^^Jj^^^ from 300 to 450 miles. The origin of the Colony is supposed to have
Hjj^^H^ been a settlement eiTected by some Hollanders, on the Pomeroon
\^^^H^/ and Essequilx) rivers, in 1580, which, after various vicissitudes,
^**^r^ finally became British territory in 1706. It contains an area of
about 76,000 square miles, and is divided into three counties -
Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice. The population in 1884 was 2.')2,186 (of whom
about 8,000 are aborigines), having increased by nearly 60,000 in the last ten years.
The immigrants in 1885 were 6,565, coming from the West India Islands and the
East Indies. The people are, as a rule, quiet and law-abi<ling, especially those bom
in the colony. They are chiefly employed in agriculture, the staple products being
sugar, rum, molasses, coffee, cocoa, and timber.
Churoh Work. — There are 82 parishes, districts, chapelries. and missionarj- stations,
and 40 Clergj' in all, with the Bishop, besides about 70 catwhists and schoolmasters.
According to the latest returns the communicants number 17,060, the baptisms were
2,919, the confirmations 1,337, and there were 6 onlinations— 4 Deacons and 2 Priests.
The marriages were 361>, and the burials l,oOo, The day-schools, some 70 in number,
connected with the Church, parochial and missionary, contained 7,358 scholars.
There is a training college at Bel Air, for the education of Coolie catechists, in charge of
the Rev. E. Sloman, M.A. Oxon., late Curate of St. John of Jenisalem, Hackney, London.
Finance. — In the year 1885 the Colonial Government contributed about 12,400/.
towarils the salaries of the Clergy, Cliaplains, and Missionaries, and over 5,000/.
towards the primary education of the Englisli Cliurch poor, and the Imperial Govern-
ment paid the Bishop's stipend of 2,000/.; the S.P.G. gave a grant of 770/., and the
Christian Faith Society 200/. ; in addition to this, the Church raised in the Colony,
in various ways, about 12,400/.
Keedi. — (1) The evangelisation of many thousands of heathen and unbelievers,
who have come here from China and In<lia, and arc locatcjd chiutly in the country
parishes. (2) A larger staff of Clergy for an English-speaking people, as well as
for the aboriginal and immigr.mt classes. Tlie Bishop has already put out an appeal
to the proprietary body for aid in increasing the present inadequate staff of Clergy.
\s but few of the owners of estates reside in the Diocese, there is the greater need
of their monetary help. (3) A more liberal outpouring of alms and prayers from the
residents here, and also from the proprietors, most of whom live in the mother
country'. (4) More lay help in Church work. (0) The erection of a proper cathedral
church; plans arc already in hand, designs having been prepared by the architect,
252 S^ioceses of i&onolulu anb ^uvon.
Mr. Blomfield, and now that he has samples (by borings) of the soil upon which the
church is to be built, steps will soon, it is hoped, be taken to b^^ this gieat work.

DIOCESE OF EOVOLULU.
^ General Desoriptioii. — This See was founded in 1862 daring the-
^^ reign of Kamehameha IV., whose love for the Anglican Church was
^^B shown by his translation of the Prayer Book into the Hawaiian
"TiJ^fcui language. The Diocese embraces the Hawaiian, or Sandwich, Is-
lands, which form an independent kingdom, of which Kalakava,
who is now on the throne, is the seventh king. They are situated
in the North Pacific, and contain an area of 6,000 square miles. The
population, according to the ccdsus of 1884, was 80,500, consisting
of 40,000 natives, 4,000 half-castes, 18,000 Chinese, and 9,800 Portu-
guese, the balance being British, Americans, Germans, Norw^ians,
French, and Japanese. There has of late years been a rapid develop-
ment of the resources of these islands. The cultivation of the sugar-cane and the
manufacture of sugar are the leading industries, lice cultivation being next in im-
portance ; wool, coffee, hides, fungus, and bananas are also exported. The number
of sugar plantations has risen in the last ten years from thirty to eighty. The native
race, which had been steadily declining, has of late years shown some signs of
recovery, as the laws of health became better understood and more care was tsJcen
of children ; but there is little hope of this recovery being realised, at the rate at
which ardent spirits (the sale of which to natives was previously illegal) are being
CDUSumed under the licensing laws of 1884. The removal (in October, 1886) of the
taku on the importation of opium, to be legally told to Chinete only^ will, it is feared,
hasten the decline of the race. Considerable light has been thrown on the history
of the people in Fomander*s * Polynesian Kace,' published by Triibner.
Chnroh Work. — The staff consists of 5 Priests, 1 Deacon, 3 candidates for Holy
Orders shortly to be ordained, and 1 Chinese lay reader. Work which has been in
abeyance is just being resumed. Including Honolulu, there are six mission stations,
representing ten congregations. The number of communicants remains at about 300.
In 1885 one Deacon was ordaiced, and between July 1884 and July 1886 forty
persons received Confirmation.
Education. — There are two flourishing schools (boarding and day) in Honolulu —
one for girls, under the Devonport Sifters; the other for boys, under the Bishop.
Inhere is a second boarding-school for girls in the Parsonage at Kona Hawaii.
Finance. — The amount raised during 1885 for the support of Clergy and Lay
Helpers was 747/. Two of the Clergy derive most of their income from Government
appointments as schoolmasters. The balance is derived from the S.P.G. and
subscriptions raised in England.
Heeds. — 1. Subscriptions towards the Cathedral Building Fund. The choir is
now finished, and the stone for two bays of the nave is on the g^und, but the work
is at a standstill for lack of funds. 2. Increased support of the Mission fund,
especially with a view to enable us to carry on a mission among the Japanese immi-
grants, of whom a few are already under instruction for Holy Baptism. 3. Sisters
both for nursing and educational work. Alpbbd Honolulu.

DIOCESE OF HUEON.
M OeneralDeicription.— This Diocese was founded in 1858. It is
Bkk bounded on the north by Lake Huron, on the south by Lake Erie,
Wj¥ on the east by the Diocese of Niagara, and on the west by Lake St.
^^^^9^^ Clair. It extends over an area of 12,000 square miles, and has a
population of more than 800,000.
The people in the Diocese are industrious in the general pursuit
of business, in trade and in farming, all doing well, but there are
very few wealthy people.
Church Work.— The number of Church members is about 1 20,000 ;
of communicants (in 1882) 8.910; of Clergy, 133; of parishes, 103.
Ninety-one localities have been supplied with the ministrations of the Church.

DIOCESE OF JAMAICA.
General Description.— In the year 1824, Jamaica, the Bahamas,
and the settlements in the Bay of Honduras were created a Bishop's
See, but the Bahamas have since been made a separate Diocese, and
the Diocese now consists of the island of Jamaica, which is ] 44 miles
long by 49 broad, and contains 4,193 square miles. The census of
1881 showed a population of 680,804, of whom 14,432 were whites,
109,946 coloured, 444.186 black, 11,016 coolies, and 99 Chinese. The
chief occupation of the labouring classes is agriculture— they work
on sugar estates, coffee plantations, and cattle-breeding pens, or
farms. Many of them arc small settlers, cultivating their own lands,
in which they grow chiefly ground provisions, fruit, coffee, and sugar.
There is a regular immigration of East Indian coolies, who are brought to Jamaica
(under airangements sanctioned and controIlc<l by Government) to serve on the sugar
estates and coffee plantations for a term of years, at a fixed rate of payment. Since
1870 the average number that has landed each year lias been 920, of whom about
one- third return to India when their period of service expires.
Chnroh Work. — Of those who filled in the return relating to religions denomina-
tions in the census of 1881, 116,224 belonged to the Church of England, and about
190,000 to all other denominations. On the Diocesan lists for 1886 there are 30,962
reg^tered members, of whom about 28,000 are communicants. These figures, how-
ever, give a very imperfect idea of the range of the Church's work and influence, as
there is a large number of persons who attend the services of the Church with greater
or less regularity, though they have not registered themselves as members under the
Canon Law of the Disestablished Church. The number of consecrated churches is
97; in addition to which there are 44 school chapels, in which Divine service is
regularly held by Clergymen and catechists. Of these, 37 are mission stations, in
connection with the Jamaica Church Home and Foreign Missionary Society. There
are 83 Clergy on the active list, 40 licensed catechists, and 60 probationers. The
baptisms in 1886 were 7,317, the confirmations 4,603, and the ordinations 9—6 Priests
and 4 Deacons.
Zdueation. — The Church has 230 primary schools under Government inspection,
with about 18,000 scholars. The Government grant earned by these schools was
4,883/., or about one-third of the whole amount earned by denominational schools.
The last complete return showed 1 38 Sunday schools (including those kept at out-
stations), and 20,176 scholars. The Church of England and Collegiate School at
Kingston has a good staff of masters, and an attendtmcc of about 1 80 boys.
Finance.— The total voluntary contributions in 188.") (including special efforts
towards completing the Episcopal Stipend Fund) wore 20,891/. from churches, and
1,030Z. from mission stations. The Colonial and Continental Church Society aids in
sustaining Clergy in five parishes, at a cost of 266/., and the S.P.C.K. gives frequent
and liberal aid towards church and school buildings. The Christian Faith Society
gives about 460/., and the Taylor Trust and the Indies* Association assist school and
other work to the extent of about 240/. a year. The work of restoring the numerous
churches and schools destroyed by the hurricane of 1880 has been completed.
Heeds. — The following are among the pressing needs of the Diocese at the present
time : (1) Assistance for the General Sustentation Fund, to aid in maintenance of the
254 ^^ioccscs of gomotca anb ^apan.

BritUh HondDTM. — ISincc the iliscntablinhmcnt of the Church in Jamaica and
Itrilish Honduras, there liiid lieen no definite settlement of tho relations between tlio
Churches in the two countries until last year. Durinf; n part of this time a retired
Bishop of Jamaica cxercisiil episcopal aulhodly over British llundiira!>, but that
arrangement hiu now cea.-w-d, and thf pnucnt Bishop of Jninaica iwis been asked to
give the needful BuprniKton. In Fcbruar; 1SS3 he visited Honduras ; secured the
passing of a Inn b; (he Colonial Legislature removing hindrances to Diocesan oigoni-
sation caused by defective discHtiiblishment laws ;'and I hen held a Synod for isBsing
canons and complctinj; tijc ecclesiastical oiganlsation. Since then formal action
lins been taken, undiT tlic anthonly of the Archbishop at (Canterbury anil the Bishop
of I/indon, and with the concurrence of tho Provincial Synod of the West Indies
and of (ho Diocesan Synod of Jamaica, which has given ecdcsiaslical validity nnd
oomplclciiesa to this Diocesan or^niiialion. For tlic present tlic Diocese will lemaiB
under tlic juri»Iic(ion of the Bishop of Jamaica.
The following parliculan respecting British Honduras arc available at present ;
The area of tho cohmy is 7,5G2 squaro niilos. mid the jiopiilation in 1S81 was 37,452.
Il Is about 700 miles due west of Jamaira, on the east coast of Central America.
Tliero are three resident Clergy in Honduras, but more ore needed. There
is a mission station, with a catecliist, at Toledo, a settlement in tho soutbcm dis-
trict. The eoutribuliuns of the people for Church purposes amount to about 6001.
' Colon aadFanama.— A great numl>er of Jamaica labourers (probably about ]»,000}

DIOCESE OF HACKEHZIE SIVEB.
General D ascription .—The Diocese of Mnckeiizie was
separated from (hat of Athnbasea in 1884. It extends from
lat. 60° to 70° north, and long. 100° to HI" west, and is
_ _ tftimated tn contain about 730.000 square miles, but with
X ■ Aj^ril-ti. ' ^ " present population of only about 6,000 souls.
U-TL l\-l i The Diocese is traversed by the Mackenzie, Linitl, Peel,
F iTV^l. 1'i.rcupiuo. and Youcon Bivers, and contains the Great Slave
^^T*^^' 1 nnd Great Bear Lakes, both very lurge. 11ic native races are
r^JJ^fcJi the Slave, Dog Hib, and Tnkutli Indiana, and tlio Esquimaux
kjTi^^f^,^ ..uthe Arctic coast. The only coimiieri'iol iniPTest at presc'nl
^Sj^_>^ is the fur trade. The situation is too noHlieriy to expect nn
njirieulttiral immigration. The most interesting geograpliical
feature in the country is probably the Alexandra Fall on liny Kivcr, near Great
tilave Lake.
The introduction of steam iinvlKiition on (he Jlackeniie Hiver, v.-hii'li is jironiised
in the course of a year or two by the Hudson Bay Company in the interest of the
Iiirtrade,will, it is' hoped, make a great improvement in the country. The Mackenzie

or English (Protestant) missionaries, Hod so arc the EsquimSDZ. The Bn^iah

native Catechists. Only 5 churches have been erected, but Uiere are 9 miacion
boQses, There ia great diffioalty in building, owing to the want of woAneo, pro-
visions, and materials.
idnoation. — Sunday and day schools are held by the miB«onaries at tha varioas
missions. The scarcity of provisions has hitherto prevented the establishment of a
boarding school.
FinanoB. — The misaion.i, wliicli form the whole of the Church work bare, are
mainly supportcil by the U.M.S., but liberal grants for Giuich buildings and for
training native Catechists are made by the S.P.CK., and the Canailian cbnicb has
lately volunteered some aid. The European reudents in the Diocew also oontiibato
liberally according- to their tneans, and Christian friends in England afford valued
help. The see and missions are wholly unendowed.
VMdi. — To consolidate and secure the mission work of the Diocese a mission
farm appears needful for raising provisions, and in connection with this a Diooe^n
school ; also one or two additional missionaries and several more churches. But the
smallness of the popalation compared n-itli other lands makes it hard to press the
claims of this Diocese in competition with more attractive fieMs of Christian work
clsewbere, and tbc remoteness of position and severity of the climate, (he hard fare
aikd precanouH snbsisb^nce deter many from en'ering on the work here. On iLg
other hand, the country in healthy, and the natives are not averse to the Gospel, but
willing to receive it, until they are prcjuiliccd n^inst it by the teaching of Komc.
rrotestant effort is opposed by French Itomanist priests devoted to the service of
the Vi^in Mary, and sworn to npboH the doctrine of her Immaculate Conception.
The; belong to a French Society connected with, or similar to, the Jeanita, anrl
known as the Obtatcs, or Devotees, of the Immaculate Uary. They have in the
Diocese S missions worked by a French Bishop, with about 10 priests, 10 brother*,
and 10 nan.i. One of their priests has lately Joined the Protestant faith.
The natives arc perhaps nearly equally divided between the Protestant and Romati
Catholic faiths, and the country being a possession of the Britiali crown, it appears
unsuitable to leave its spiritual instruction entirely to France and Rome.
The most interesting and sncccsstiil branch of the mlssion-work is in the extreme
north on the borders of Alaska, where the Rev. V. C. Sim, our most northern mission-
ary, has lately died at his post. It is hoped that his leal and encouraging reports
will stir up a fresh interest in the work which ha-s cost his life.

Chnroh Work.— The staff of this Diocese consists of the Bishop,
0 English and i native Clergj-, and an order of Catechists who
BDpply ordinary ministrations in places where there is no resident
Priest. There is a temporary CatJiedral at Antananarivo, and one
of stone is being built from the designs of Mr. William White. In
the same city and ila suburbs are 5 otber churches, and there arc
■^.'i others at distances varying from 4 to 30 miles. Another cent re
of work is llamainandro, some 60 miles to the soath-west, where
there is a resident I'riest, and a stone Church is in coume of erec-
tion from thcplansof Mr.Scdding; there are 7 daughter Chorclies,
and a further group some 30 miles farther west. On the east coast
there are 3 chief stations, Tamatava, Andovoranto, and Hahonoro,
each with its resident English Priest. There are abont 1 2 country stations at present
working, others bavini; been broken up by the war. The nnmber of commomcaols on
the roll of the Cathedral is 150, andthe country churches have from 12 to HO each. The
chief part of the work as compared with that of other Missions in Madagascar is the sup-
ply of a national Litu^y, Church mnaic, and Theological literature. There is a small

DIOCESE OF xAUBirnrs.
General Deeoriptlon. — This See was founded in 1854, and is co-
extensive with the colony and its dependencies, which comprise 149
small islands, widely scattered over the southern Indian Ocean, at
distances varying from 300 to 1,200 miles from the colony. The
most important group, the Seychelles, is nearly 1,000 miles to the
north, and almost on the Kquator. The actual area of land is, however,
only about 1,400 square miles, of which Mauritius itself occupies
714. The population amounts to 380,000, of whom all but about 18,000
are found in the island of Mauritius. There are some 260,000 British
Indians, and the rest form the mixed general population of English,
French, Creoles,* Malagachcs, Africans, and Chinese. The popula-
tion of the Seychelles Archipelago is over 14,000, and of the other scattered islets
about 4,000. On the census day of 1881 the military and sailors in Manritius
numbered 436 and 637 respectively, but the number of sailors who arrived in British
ships in the course of the year was neiirly 9,400. The population of the island
had exactly doubled during tlio previous thirty years, and it is more closely distri-
buted than that of Belgium.
Immigration. — Of the Indians mentioned above more than half were bom in
India. They begin now to settle more permanently in the Colony, and are driving
out the Creoles of African descent, being more thrifty, intelligent, and diligent.
Originally labourers under contract on the sugar estates, they are becoming largely
an independent population of agricultural labourers, servants, hawkers, and small
1 radesmen. The Arabs are the chief rice merchants, the Creoles the chief artisans.
Sugar, vanilla, and lately aloes (for fibre) are the chief industries of Mauritius ;
coffee, chocolate, and cocoa-nut oil, of the dependencies. The export and import trade
is very great, but the chief wealth is in the hands of Roman Catholics of Frencli ez-
1 Taction. Our own community consists mainly of Government employes (who consider
England their natural and future home, and who seek to lay by for retirement), and
of converts from the Indian immigrants. Great opposition is maintained by the
Roman Catholic Church, but its hold over the male portion of its flock has much
decreased of late years.
Churoli Work. — The estimated number of Church members (entered very imper-
fectly in the last census) is from 9,000 to 10,000, of whom about 3,000 are Indians, and
3.300 more belong to the dependencies. The communicant-s are estimated at 1,800,
of whom 450 are Indians. There are 79 congregations, and 82 churches, chapels, an<l
schoolrooms, besides the prisons. For the regular Sunday services (upwards of 100 in
number, and conducted in 7 different languages) the Church has, beside the Bishop,
20 Clergy in Mauritius and the Seychelles— 13 Priests and 7 Deacons. Of these 8
are English, 5 French or Creole, and 7 Indians. Nine are on the Government
Establishment.
Education. —This work was begun by the Cliurch in 1836, but since then many
schools have been transferred to the Government Department, which gives full oppor-
tunity to all Christian denominations to instruct their own youth in religion during
school hours. Besides these, the Church has 41 day and 1 1 Sunday schools, containing
respectively over 2,000 and 500 scholars ; among the former are many heathen. A
Training College of a simple character has been erected and opened this year, with
a view to the preparation of catechists and native pastors. The Mission boarding
schools have been successful in preparing a fair number of Christian Indians, who
are employed as schoolmasters in Mission and Government schools.
Finance.— During the year 1885 about 5,OO0Z. (including aid from the Home
Societies) was raised from private sources for Church work. The Government con-
tributes to the stipend of the Bishop (as * senior chaplain '), pays four Clergymen
wholly, and others partly. The Diocese is under great obligations to Home Societies ;
the S.P.G. assists five Clergy, the C.M.S. six. Tlie number and composition of the
population, together with the peculiar difficulties of missionary work in such close
contact with Romanism, furnish strong pleas for the maintenance and increase of
help from the mother Church.
Church Government, &c.— There is a representative Church Council, but no formal

76,976, and the emiprration 61,994, and \n the decade ending with 1885 the excess
of the former over the latter was 91,037; the excess of births over deaths daring
the same period was 142,9Si<. The native population are sanguine, energetic, and
persevering ; intensely patriotic, always speaking of the United Kingdom as their
*home;* generally wcll-bcliaved and temperate. The people are sheep and cattle
owners, farmers, miners, merchants, tradesmen, artisans, &c. Many of all classes
are wealthy, and the population may generally be described .as prosperous ; many
of the ' selectors ' arc in goo<l circumstances, whilst some others are in difficulties.
The exports are wool, wheat, gold, carcases, hides, tallow, horses. Sec ; the imports
include soft r:oo<Is, liardware, liquors, tea, sugar, timber, &c
Church Work.~The number of Church members is about 250,000 ; of communi-
cants, 13,500. There arc 14i) {xirisha^, or parochial and mission districts. The lieensed
Clergy are 136, and there are 'A) readers, who are mostly probationers for Holy
Onlers, besides 16(! honorary re^ulors, gentlemen who conduct DiWne Service witli
the HLshop*s sanction. Tlio baptisms in ISS^ were about 6,700, the confirmations
2,115, and the unlinations 17-7 dciicons and 10 priests.
Education.— There are no primary day schools connected with the Church; the
State system of ' free, secular, and compulsory ' education defies competition. There
are, however, some 4 or 5 grammar school.«, in which the sons of the wealthier
colonists receive a liberal educjition, leading up to that of the Melbourne University.
There are 314 Sunday schools, with 29,250 .scholars.
Training College.- -Trinity College is affiliated to the University of Melbourne,
where certain of the stu'bmts ])aiis tlirough a theological course. There are eight theo-
logical scholarships of the aggregate annual value of 460/., in addition to which 1,600/.
is voted annually from the public funds of the Church towanls the maintenance of
the College and expenses of divinity students.
Finance. —The amount raiscil in the Diocese in 1885 for every branch of Church
work was about 95,000/. — namely, fi)r support of clergy and lay helpers, 47,000/. ;

DIOCESE OF MONTBSAL.
fft General Deioription.— This Diocese was divided from that of
ffk Quebec in 1850 by Royal Letters Patent. The first Bishop was the
fiW^^ Right Rev. Francis Fulford, D.D., Metropolitan of Canada; he was
^^^*^^^*^ succeeded by the Rij^ht Rev. Ashton Oxenden, D.D. The Diocese is
bounded on the south and west by the United States and the province
of Ontario, and on the east by the eastern boundaries of the coimties
of Berthier, Richelieu, Bagot, Shefford, and Brome. The population
in 1884 wus620,(HX).
Tiic increase by immigration is very small, the great majority of
tliosc^ arriving in the country finding their way to Ontario, and in the
ast year or two to Manitoba and the nortli-wcsl. The Diocese is agricultural, all
but the city of Montreid. Except in the C4>unties of Missistjuoi, Brome, and Shefford
in the eastern townshijw, and Pontiac, Ottawa, and Argenteuil in the Ottawa district,
the pojmlation is almost entirely French.
Church Work. — The proportion of the Church of Enghind to the entire popula-
tion is less than 7 per cent., French and Roman Catholics largely predominating.
The number of Church members in 1885 was about 38,000, of communicants 7,740.
There are 81 parishes and missions, with 127 churches, and 66 other stations where
services are occasionally held. The Cleigy number 102, the Lay Readers 11, and the
students of the Diocesan Theological College, of whom there were 18 last year, work

working order, and the students are coming forward for ordination as quickly as is
consistent with thorough training. There is an increasing demand for services in
the French t«ngae, and I have ample employment for the talents of men who can
ofHciale in both lanpiages. The Tboolc^eal College jwiys attention to this require-

inland to the distance of from .1IH) to GOO miles on its eastern,
western, and snuibcrn sides, and northwanl as far as human
beings exist. The most northern part is quite unlit for the
abode ol civilised man, but agriculture might be carried on iu
Ihe sonlh with considerable success, although wheat will scarcely
ripen, and in winter the climate is very severe, the thermometer
sometimes fallinfr to 60° Iwlow lero. Itailroads are projected
from Lake Superior to Moose, and from Saskatchewan to
Cbnrchill, where there is an eicellent harbour. The population may lie estimaleil
at 10,000, and consists of a small number of whites in the service of Ihe Hudson's
ll»j Company, wiio have for-irading stations scattered over the entire counlry,
half-castes. Kikimo, Ojibbeways, Crces, and Chipwyans. There is no immigration
whatever. Tbe fen Europeans are all connected with the fur trade ; the Indians are
all hnnlers, and carry on their occupation doring Ihe winter, trapping beaver, mar-
ten, fox, lynx. mink. t>ear, and other animals, and bringing their skins to the varioiLi
trading posts in Ihe early summer, when they cxcliange them for European cloth-
ing. Hoar, guns, *;c. Tlicy are employed at llie princi[jal posts during the summer
nd voyagers, to tranoport trailing goods to tlic distant stations, and in other kinds
of labour ; they work well, and are very fairly paid for their work.
Ovtuoh Work.— Tlie Church members are about 4,000, the communicant* TOO, and
there are 6 Clergy. There is a fine cathedral at Jloose, and there are churcheH
at eight other places. The number of baptisms in ISS.i was about 140, and 124
penons were confirmed. In each trtl>o the best instructed Indian is appointeil
catechist or teacher ; (o him all the members look for advice in their dirficulties
and for comfort in the hour of trial, when far removed from tbe Missionary; those
men, TWjeiving little or no remuneration for their services, are very faithful in the
discharge of their duties, and are a great help to the Missionary, to whom they
r«jiort all that happens during the hunting season. The Diocese being so hirge, and

Great progress has taken i)lacc in the development of the Mission during the present
year. Fort Churchill, in N. Moosonec, has been occupied by an energetic European
Missionary, as has likewise Rupert's House, in S. Moosonee; at the station o£
3Iartin's Falls, in the Albany district, to which tribes of Ojibbeways resort, a
catechist, thoroughly ac<iuainted with the Indian language and Indian life, has
been appointed, while at Prince of Wales Sound, Hudaon^s 8traits, a gentleman
connected with the Canadian Government Geological Survey is labouring for the
good of the Eskimo inhabiting the surrounding country ; he is a Canadian Church-
man, and deserves great credit for his self-denying labours, and I hope he will yet
be admitted to the ministry.
Education. — There is a school at Gvevy mission station, at which English is taught
to tlic residents, and to such Indians as make a lengthcne<l stay, wliile all Indians
arc diligently instructed in their own language. Sunday schools exist at all stations;
and at some j)0Sts, where tliere is not a resident missionary, the Hudson's Bay trader
conducts both service and Sunday school. Heading and writing, introduced by the
Mission, are general throughout the tribes. The Bishop has translated into Cree,
parts of the Bible, the Prayer Book, and Hymn Book ; and Archdeacon Vincent, • The
Pilgrim's Progress ' ; while the Rev. K. J. Peck has translated large portions of the
Bible, Prayer Book, &c., into Eskimo; and the Rev. J. Sanders (an Ojibbeway) has
done the same with his native language.
Finance. — There is not a rich person in the Diocese, although the trade of the
country is very prosperous for those enfraj^ed in it. Not a farthing is spent by the
proprietors, except what is necessary for the requirements of the trade. About 160/.
was collected in the Diocese last year— a large sum imder the circnmstanoes in
which we are situated.
Needs. — The most pressing needs are (1 ) the endowment of our college for native
students ; there are no funds for the purpose, and it is impossible to raise them in
the Diocese ; (2) the increase of our fund for tlie employment of additional Glerg}'.
Though the number is so limited, very much has been done towards the evangelisa-
tion of all the tribes and individuals in the Diocese, in which there is no resident
minister of any other denomination. We require much help in our building opera-
tions ; I am new building a large and substantial Mission House at Rupert's House,
at a cost of between iOOl. and 500/., and a church at Matawakumme.

DIOCESE OF NASSAU.
General Description. -Tlie See of Nassau was foimded in 18G1,
having been previously an archdeaconry of Jamaica. The Diocese
consists of the Bahama Islands, together with the Turks and Caicos
group, and has an area of about 4,420 square miles. The Bahamas
lie south-east of the coast of Florida, and north-east of Cuba, and
the Turks and Caicos lie to the south of tlie Bahamas.
The population according to the census of 1881 was 48,253.
They are an agricultural people, growing sugar-cane, vegetables,
pine-apples, and other fruit. The principal trade is in sponges, and
some pearls also are found, which generally realise a good price.
Chnroli Work.— The number of mission stations, including
churches, is 87 ; of Clergy 14 ; of professing Churchpeople about 13,000, and of
communicants 3,719. In the year 1885 there were 672 baptisms and 627 confirma-
tions.
Education. — There are 31 Church Day SiOiools, with 1,675 scholars, besides the
Government Schools ; also 74 Sunday Schools, with 268 teachers, and an estimated

Finance. — The amount raised in the Diocese for Church work in 1885 (exclusive of
interest on Diocesan Funds) was 2,010/.
Fressing Needs. — The chief need appears now to be the provision of endowments

for the wurious parishes, by the augmentation of the Clergy Sustentation Fund.
Land is being purchased and planted with cocoa-nuts or other fruit-trees, which
it is hoped may prove successful in swelling the eudownierits. The Clergy Sustenta-
tion Fond keeps gradually increasing, but it is to be feared that its chief source of
growth must be the liberality of Churchpeople at liome. All appeals made in
England for this fund have been warmly answered, but unless some unforeseen
donation comes to the Diocese, it will be many years before it will be in a position
to support anything like a sufficient number of Clergy to carry on the Church's
work in the l^iamas. Eventually, there can be no doubt that the Diocese should be
self -supporting.

DIOCESE OF HELSOH.
General Deeeription. — This Diocese was founded in 1857, and
consists of the northern portion of the south island of New Zealand.
It is about 180 miles from north to south, and 120 miles from east
to west, and is bounded on the north by the Straits and on the south
by the Hurunui and Tcremakau rivers. On the western side are
gold-fields, in the middle is an ajjrriculturul and timber district,
and on the east are sheep and cattle runs, with a gold-field. It is
intersected by lofty mountain ranges, from 2,000 to 10,000 feet in
height ; the roads are imperfect, and there are rapid rivers, very
scantily bridged, so that many casualties from drowning occur in
the course of the year. The climate of Nelson is proverbially fine ;
the maximom heat in 1880 was 70^, the minimum 30°. The population is 48,000 ;
a great increase took place between 1865 and 1870, but since that time it has been
stationary.
Church Work. — About 22,000 persons (16 per cent.) profess to be members of the
Church of England ; the number of communicants it is difiicult to estimate — they
are not more than one in twenty, but arc increasing. There are five duly consti-
tuted parishes, with fifteen parochial and missionary districts; thirty-nine churches,
and twenty other places used for Divine service. The licensed Clergy number twenty-
four. Confirmations are held yearly, and whenever asked for ; about 300 are con-
firmed biennially. Education is conducted by the State, and is secular, but there are
O'XMisional opportunities for Bible reading in Government schools.
Training College.— The Bishop has liad a Theological college at liishopsdale, two
miles from Nelson, since 1868, in which there arc usually six students. Many who
have passed through it are now in different parts of New Zealand, while five have
received orders in England. Most of the students pass the University examinations.
Instruction is given in Hebrew, in addition to the onlinary coiu-se.
In the ecclesiastical Province of New Zealand there lias been in operation for 12
years past a Board of Theological Studies, consisting of the 6 Bishops of New Zealand,
and 3 clerical and 3 lay members, elected triennially by the general Synod. This
Board conducts examinations annually in four grades. The first is open to all, while
the three higlier grades are more suited to candidates for Holy Orders. From 16
to 25 students have annually attended these examinations, which follow the lines of
the Cambridge Theological anrl the previous Theological examinations, approved by
the Bishops for candidates for Holy Orders. One standjrrd is thus attained for the
whole of the ecclesiastical Province. The examination is conducted on strict
University principles, and the students are classified. The fourth grade is as nearly
as passible of the same standard in its first class as the Cambridge Theological Triix)s.
Certificates and two scholarshii)s of 30/. are given by the (general Synod to the
second and third grades. The honorarj' clerical secretary from the first has been
the Bishop of Nelson.
Finance.— There is a fund of 11,000/., the interest of which is charged with the
Bishop's stipend of 600/. (inadequate), and the balance is j?iven in grants to the
Clergy, to supplement local contributions. There are also a Stipend Fund, supported
by voluntary contributions, a General Church Fund, and funds for pensions and for
e<lucation for the ministry.
IlMd*.— The Diocese needs assiatiuice iu new ftnd oaUjring diatriota taken np bj
■ettleis recently anived, and eUoendowments for the promotion of clerical ednoatioD.
It never had reserves such as the neif^hbouring Dioceses have enjoyed, bnt laveral
valuable beqaests, including one of IS.OOOI., of which the Bishop was appointed by
Ihe donor one of the trustees, have been recently made to particniar parishes and
districts.

DIOCESE OE KEW WESTKIH8TEB.
Oenaral Seseription. — Thin Diocese wan founded in 1879, and
[insintfl of a district lying between the 49th and 64th parallels of
N. Intitadc, and bounded on the east by the Rocky Mountains, and
n the west by the Stiait of tleorgia. The population, inclading
tidiona and ChinebC, is about 50,000.
Chorek Work.— The Chnrch members, including Indians, number
2,054, the communicants 409. There are 13 Clei^ (inclnding S
absent on leave), 4 lay readers, 2 native catechists and ioterpreten.
There are 9 churches (exclusive of Indian churches), besidea build-
ings used temporarily as such. Daring last year there were 1S7
baptisms, and 44 persons were continned. The amount raised in the
Diocese hut year was I.304f.,but it is impossible, in the mdimentary
condition of our organisation, to give the particulars In regard to volnntary contij-
bntions. The above sum, contributed hy 2,054 Church memben (men, women, and
children), Indians included, is, however, 1 conceive, a very respectable amount, and far
above the average of such cootributions. It was employed In the enctiou of a c^nr^
and parsonage, a stone bell tower for another church, and in the payment of atipeDda
of Clergy. The Indian SchooU are still maintained, and that for girls may be said
to Sonrish vigorously. The work is still without Qovemment aid, and needs motdi
more liberal public support than it has yet received. Bnt for the generons giant of
the 8.r.O., and the ever ready help of tlie S.P.C.K,, it wonld be impoasible to main-
tain Charch Services in mote than a few places. We hope, however, to be able to
hold on till the depression has passed away, without further reducing oor ranks, and
to be ready to take advantage of the tide of returning prosperity when it oomea.

DIOCESE OF KIAOASA.
This is the smallest of the Canadian Dioceses. It consists of
six of the most fertile counties of the Province of Ontario. The
farmers are nearfy all wealthy, and large rcvennesare received from
fruit, chiefly grapes, peaches, and apples, as well as from ordinary
farm produce. The Church has a number of endowed pwishea
in it, but no missionary field, as the counties are all well settled.
In many places, however, Oinrch people aro nnmerically weak,
and a number of stations called Klissions (inasmnch as they re-
ceive aid from the Board of Diocesan Missions) have been estab-
lished. The 6eecityisHamilton,atownofabout45,000inhabitants,

a fine large church, as yet, however, unGnished,'BS far as the tower,
bells, chancel (except one that is very shallow} are concerned. It is in use, however,
for Divine Service, has a sucpliced choir, and occasional choral service. There arc
live other chnrchea in the city. Two o^er large towns, also called cities, in the
Diocese are Guelph and St. Catharine's. There are no Church Schools, Sisters,
hospital?, or any institutions of that- kind. The Diocese is as yet young, the Epi-
scopal endowment itself being not yet fully made up.

DIOCESE OF THE NIOEB EIYSB.
n Oenaiml Deieription. — The Niger Mission was undertaken in 1867
JBI by the C.M.S., who in 1864 placed it (divided into two Arch-
^^^JEjL^i deaoonries) nnder the supervision of a native Bishop. I'hc extent of
^^■^^^ -^ the Diocese is quite undefined, as it comprises the Niger Delta, from
Benin river to Bonny in the Bight of Biafra, and the country on
botji sides of the river as far inland as it is aocessiblo.
Church Work. — Between the moulhs of the river in the Bight,
and Kipo Hill, :150 miles from the coast, 11 statijins have Um-h
occupictl, but Slime of tlieso arc vacant at ])resont throiiprh dtfaths
and want of suitable agents. In addition to tlioso no less than
12 kings and chiefs of ix)pulous towns nnrl cities in the interior, containing from
10,000 to 60.000 inhabitants, -have applied to us to cstabhsh missions among their
people, but for ¥rant of men and means we have not been able to respond to their in-
vitatioiiB beyond occasional visits and empty promises. Men are h^ing sought for,
and we hope they will bo got, but I cannot say the same of means, which might
enable ua at once to prepare for the arrival of teachers. To provide suitable agents
lor the future, the C.M.S. have sanctioned the building of a Preparandi Institution,
wherein promimng native youths may be trained for teachers ; at present there are
bIx under training.
Hie staff consists of the Bishop, two Archdeacons, four Priests, and one Deacon, all
these being natives, and two European missionaries, besides eight lay agents, who arc
oocasioDally assisted by some of the experienced native converts. In the year ending
March 1884, there were 3,571 native adherents, 860 communicants, and 332 scholars.
Ifuaee. — ^Tbe liberality of the native converts is being gradually called forth, as
they learn to i^ipreciate their Christian privileges, in contributing towards building
sabeUntial pluses of worship. At Nembe, Brass Biver, they have set a noble
example l>y contributing for an iron church to hold 800 or 1000, which, when com-
pleted, will have cost 1,0002. It was opened on October 9, 1884, in the presence of a
congn^^ion numbering 1,202 persons. The congregation of St. Barnabas, at Tawn,
Brass Biver, have begun to contribute for a similar iron church, and at other stations
they are winching to follow the same liberal example. Thus judiciously, and step b}-
step, the native converts are being led on to self-support, so as ultimately to be inde-
pendent of outward aid.

DIOCESE OF NOVA SCOTIA.
Oeneral Description. — This is the earliest of the colonial Sees,
and was founded in 1 787. It comprises two distinct provinces — Nova
Scotia (including the island of Cape Breton) and Prince Edward's
Island. The former has an area of 20,900 square miles, with a popula-
tion of 440,670; the latter is much smaller, being 2,133 miles in
extent, and having a population of 108,890. There is very little
immigration into either part of the Diocese, but we suffer from the
emigration of our most energetic young people to the United States,
and now still more to theNorth-Westem Territory. We have a lonjj
line of coast, and therefore many fishing settlements. Parts of the
province are very favourable for agriculture, but the season is short.
There are large coalfields and some iron mines.
Church Work. — There are 00,256 members of the Churcli of England in Nova
Scotia, of whom 8,064 are communicants. The parishes and missions number 72, and
are served by 84 Clergy. In the year 1884, 789 persons were confirmed. Tlie Church
people in Prince Edward's Island are 7,192, of whom 1,030 arc communicants ; tlierc
are 10 parishes and missions, with 10 Clergj-. Eleven persons were ordained —
5 deacons and 6 priests.
Edueation. — There are no day schools connected with the Church, free education
being provided by the State. In Nova Scotia there are 90 Sunday schools, with
4,626 scholars; in Prince Edward's Island 10 schools, with 747 scholars. There are
266 S^ioccsco of ^Toua Scotia anb ^ttfatto.
a collegiate school at Windsor, and a girls' school at Halifax (principally for
ix>arders), conncctc<l with the Cliurch. The State maintains a training college for
common school teachers at Truro. The Church has an old University of King's
College at Windsor, founded by George III. in 1802, which has sent out some dis-
tinguished men as graduates; but the public grants to colleges of the several
denominations having lately been withdrawn, wo shall have much difficulty in
maintaining the efficiency of the University.
Finance.- -It is not possible to arrive at an estimate of funds raised in the
pcvcral parishes, but tlie Church Society has an income of 1,0502. for general pur-
l)Oses, besides widows', orphans', and superannuation funds. We have about 1,6702.
a year from a fund invested for endowment of parishes, and the people are ever^'-
where [required to contribute to the maintenance of their ministers. A few of the
parishes are self-supporting. The chief cities both of Nova Scotia (Halifax) and of
I'rince Edward's Island (Charlotte Town) have been, and are, very much depressed,
and we do not sec any prospect of improvement at present. The effect of this is
l^iinfully felt by our Societies and Institutions.

DIOCESE OF OKTABIO.
General Deseription.—This Diocese ^^'as fonued in ]^G2, when
l>r. John Travers Lewis (T.('.D.)wa8 consecrated the first Bishop.
It lies nt tlie extreme east of the Province of Ontario ; its boundaries
are : on the north and cast the river Ottawa ; on the west a line
running in a north-westerly direction, dividing the Counties of
Hastings and Northumberland, until it meets the southern bonndar^'
of the great Nipissing district, the whole of which, east of Lake
Nipissiug, and south of the river lilattawan, has now been attached
to this l3iocese, and on the south the eastern part of Lake Ontario
and the Kivcr St. Lawrence. Tlio Diocese contains 16 counties
and over 200 townships, each of the latter comprising (usually) 100
square miles. The population is about 500,000, in an area of 25,000 square miles.
The people are chiefly of the farmer class, and are industrious and moraL They have
acquired habits of thrift and economy to a degpree that makes them exceedingly penu-
rious, and loth to give money for any objects that do not confer a personid benefit.
At Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion, at Trenton, and in various other places, are
groat saw-mills for the manufacture of sc[uarc timber for the English market, and
• Icals for American and home building purposes. Besides these main industries, there
iwii paper, woollen, cotton, and starch factories, which do a large business ; and of
late years a considerable impetus has been given to manufactures of all kinds, such
JH railroad materials, agricultural implements, carriage furniture, and brushes. In
some localities are found rich deposits of lead, iron ore, and phosphates, which are
l>oing developed as the railway system is extended.
Churoli Work. — The Diocese is divided into two Archdeaconries and eight Rural
Deaneries. The professed Church members number 77,672. The working staff of
clergy consists of 104 Priests and 8 Deacons, with 4 perpetual Deacons (unpaid) ;
but of these 11 are superannuated or on leave. In 25 years the number of churches
has increased from 69 to 104, besides which 24 have been rebuilt on a larger scale.
Services are lield in 70 school-houses, so that there arc some 245 congregations in the
Diocese. In 24 years the Bishop has confirmed 24,109 persons. It is estimated
that there are still scattered throughout this large Diocese some 26,000 professing
Church members without Church ministmtions, a statement which shows now sadl}'
needtnl are more men and more means. There is a general feeling among cleigj*
i\n(\ laity that the Diocese ought to be divided, and all the initial steps to promote
this end have been taken, including the sanction of the Upper House of the Pro-
vincial Synod. The Diocesan SjTiotl has unanimously approved of the plan, and has
roquestecl the Bishop to make an appeal to the great societies, and friends of the
Church in England. The boundaries of the two proposed Dioceses would be nearly
conterminous with the existing Archdeaconries.
Finance.— The Episcopal Fund last year yielded ^3,200, or 650/. ; the contribu-
tions for Diocesan missions were gdfiOO ; and for Foreign ^lissions, ^.H,000. For

Beligioni EdnMUoiL^Bvcry Clcrgj'nuui him a Sncday School — perhaps t«'o; but
from the total exclmiOD of all religious teaching from the public schoola, and tlie
physical difficulties in great rural diatiicts, any regular instruction of the youDg in
Church principles is impossible. Tlicrc in no Theological College in Ibc Diocese,
ivhicli depen<ls for its supply cliiefly on Trinity College, Toronto (of which University
tlie Bishop of Ontario is the Presiilcnt), BLsliop'^ College, Lennoxville, and ^t. Ai^us-
lina's, Canterbury.
Meadi — The members of the Chnrch are only a somll minority of the population,
nnd Bie relatively poor. Tlic wealth of the cities is in the hands of sectiuiana ; and
tlie onions recently formeil, both between the irarious PreBbytctian bodiea and tbo
Jlethodists, have brought tlic Church of England face to face with two powerful
antagomstic organisations. It tbo Church is to grow, there should be three times the
number of Clergymen at work, nnd alt the stmying and deserted sheep of the fold
should be looked after. Of lat« years many of the best Church formers have nold or
let their buildings and lanil, nnd gone to the new and promising fields of the North-
West. Their successora arc for the most part poor, and without any interest in the
('hurch, a large proportion being Boman CalholiCH from the Province of Quebec
From these causes, added to the univcrNal intermarriage with BectariHni>, the strngglc
to maintain the Churrli is severe and unceasing, nnd dcforve* the sympathy of the
Church at home. T. Hedford-Jonbo, I.h.T),, Archdeeeon of Kinggtrnt.

BI0CE8S OF NOBTH QUEEHSLAHD.
JIf General Beieription.— This Diocese was founded in 1878, being
^||^ taken out of the original metropolitan Diocese of Sydney. It
fljw^^ includes the northern half of Queensland, extending from Cape
•'^^JP'*^''** Talmerston to Cape York, and from the coast to the eastern
boundary' of the South Australian northern territory, and contains
about 250,000 square miles, with a seaboard of 1 ,600 miles. The
population is altogether British, for the aborigines are few and
far scattered, and recent restrictive laws are rapidly reducing
the number of Chinese and Polynesians. Immigrants receive free
or assisted passages, and are brought by the Queensland mail
steamers at tho mtc of a thousand a month. In addition to
ordinary trade the colony has vast mineral resources — gold, silver,
tin, lead, copper, .and coal. The coast-land is favourable for sugar-growing; the
grassy plains of the interior arc occupied by scjuatters, who have large cattle or
sheep runs. The exportation of frozen meat, tallow, and hides is becoming an
important industry. The climate is healthy ; high table-land is reached only thirty
miles from the coast, and, though within the tropics, enjoys a clear, dry atmosphere*;
the nights are always cool, and usually cold. Information respecting the oolohy will
be found in the * Handbook for Emigrants to Queensland,' and * Historical Sketches
of Australia,' published by the S.P.C.K.
Chnrch Work. — About half of the population accept and support Church minis-
trations. There are 18 Clergy, towards whose stipends their parishes contributed
4,680/. in 1885. An endowment exists for the employment of one or two mission
Clergy, and a Cathedral building fund and a constitution for a Cathedral Chapt^^r
have been formed. A Diocesan Synod was formal in 1883, and Church work was
then placed on the constitutional basis common to Australian Dioceses.
Xdneation. — The State provides free and compulsory secular education, and in
Kirgc towns supports grammar schools. The Sunday schools have some 1,800 cliildren
in attendance.
Finance. — No State aid of any kind is given for religion. Kach parish manages its
own financial affairs. The Diocese has fun<ls for Church extension and endowment,
for snperannuate<l Clergry, and other purposes. Cleric-al incomes range from 200/.
to 400/. The contributions last year for building Churches and Parsonages were
2,250/. ; for support of the Clergy, 4,080/. ; and for Sunday Schools, 643/.
Needs. — There is urgent need of a regular supply of well-trained energetic young
Clergy. University men are much wanted, are well paid, and are esteemed by the
people. A few students, who had matriculated at some University, or were qualified
to matriculate at Sydney on their arrival, could be received. They would assist the
paxochicd Clergy, and would receive instruction while reading for a degree. Articles
of Church furniture and decoration are always acceptable, and so are standard
theological works for a proposed clerical library. G. II. Nobth Queensland.

DIOCESE OF SAKOOOH.
General Descriptioxi — This Diocese was founded in 1877, being
one of the two new Indian Dioceses founded after the death of
Bishop Mil man, seventh Bishop of Calcutta. The Diocese of Win-
f Chester subscribed 10,000/., which, with noble grants from the '
S.P.G. and S.P.C.K., and money from other sources, made an
Endowment Fund of 25,000/., and to this the Government have
attached a Senior Cbaplaincy. The first Bishop, the Right Rev.
J. H. Titcomb, was consecrated on St. Thomases Day, 1877. Owing
to a severe accident, he had to resign in 1882, much to the regret
of Clergy and laity alike, and on May 1 of the same year the
Right Itev. John Miller Strachan was consecrated in Lambeth
to be his successor. The past year has been a most eventful one in the history of this
young Diocese. By the annexation of Upper Burma the area, and perhaps the popula-
tion, of the Diocese have been more than doubled. The estimated area is now over
200,000 square miles, with a population of somewhere about six millions, consifiting
of Europeans, Eurasians, Burmese, Chinese, natives of India, Karens, and other hill
tribes. The Andamans, the Kicobars, and the Cocos Islands form part of the Diocese.
The Venerable G. F. t^opham Blyth, M.A., is the first Archdeacon of Rangoon. I
hope to be able soon to appoint an Archdeacon of Mandalay, to help me in the north
of the Diocese.
Clmreh Work. — The disorganised state of the country has interfered much with,
the steady work of the Church during the past year. Still, I have progress to report.
The foundation stone of the new cathedral was laid by the Viceroy of India in Feb-
ruary last ; the handsome church in East Rangoon is approaching completion ; the
forsaken mission of Mandalay has been re-established ; and, above all, spiritual life
seems to have been deepened in the members of some of the congregations. On the
other hand it is to be regretted that the Andaman Mission, opened so hopefully only
a year ago, has been closed for want of a suitable Missionary.
With regard to future requirements, his Excellency the Viceroy has recom-
mended that two additional Chaplains be added to our eccle2»iastical establishment,
with one more as a temporary arrangement, and also that a grant of 500 rupees per
mensem be made for the employment of additional clergymen in Upper Burma. The
S.P.G. have made special efforts, and are sending three Missionaries for Upper Burma,
one of whom is to be a Medical Missionary.
Needi. — We ask for a constant interest in the prayers of the Church. We require
a suitable Missionary for the hill tribes in the Arracan province ; we need funds for
the new cathedral, and especially for the Additional Clergy Society ; and we should
heartily welcome Sisters for an industrial home and for a boarding school.

*^^3P*i^^* South Australia, and on tlie south by the colony of Victoria. The
country consists chiefly of vjist plains, on which millions of sheep are
pastured. The towns are few and far bcLwcen, and the squatter^'
stations arc separated by gieat distances. CioM, silver, and copper
are worked in the northern parts, which are more hilly. The cli-
mate is healthy and the atmosphere dry.
Church Work. — The Clergy are 12 in number; they are .separated
by great distances, one being 1 70 miles from any other, and several
as much as 120 miles apart. The members of the Church number
21,000. Missions to the aborigines are cjirried on at Warangesda and Malo^'a, the
former under Church teaching. After his installation in March 1885, the Bishop
travelled over 5,000 miles, holding Confirmations at 10 places, and confirming in all
165 persons.

Manitolxi to within Gi) miles of Lake :>uperior, a distance of nearly
(><j<) milt»(. The popuUtion is uncertain, being variously estimate<l
at from $<»,<>«> t«» 125.00). Tlie immigration for the past three years,
drawn on by the advancing Canadian I*acitic Ilailway, has ino6tly
pa<<t.-d beyond Manitoba into what is now the Itiocese of Qu'Appelle,
leading unfortunately the sparse settlements in Manitoba as weak as ever. This is
a great agricultural countr}', and produces the finest wheat.
Clmrcli Work.— The Church members form probably nearly one- fourth of the
population ; there arc r>l Clergy, besides catechists for the Indian missions, and the
Bishop also licenses a number of voluntary' Readers. There aro 45 churches, but they
arc not all consecrated, and about 45 other mission stations, or places for service.
Last year a1x)ut 300 jx^rsons were confirmed.
Education. — There arc no Church common schools; all children attend the
Government schools, which are ojiened and closed with forms of prayer and the
reading of the Biblo, and in which there is religious teaching, including the Ijiml's
I*rayer, Cree<l, an<l Comm€in<lments. In connection with St. John's College tliere i:<
a Grammar School for boys, with 70 scholars, and a High School for girls, with
nearly 60 scholars. Both these have a full staff of teachers. St. John's is one of
the Colleges of the University of Manitoba, and its religious teadiing is in acconlanec
mth the Church, though the University is undenominational. Tliere are about L*:i
students in Arts, who rea<l for the ordinary or honour degree of B.A., and there is
also a theological course, under the direction of a full staff of Professors, forming a
Faculty of Theologj-. By this means students may take the B.D. degree, after
passing the general University previous examination in classics and mathematics.
Other students, who have been Indian catechists for a number of years, take a special
course for ordination, and others are trained, in connection with the C.M.$. Indian
missions, for catechists and schoolmasters. The Church gives its full support to the
Government system of education, the Bishop of Rupert's Land being both Chancellor
of the University of Manitoba, and Presiilcnt of the Board of Education for the
Province of Manitoba.
Eeeds. — In a young country, such as this is, the needs mu>t be great, and they
arc greatly intensified for the present by the embarras>ments of many, and by the
great depreciation in the value of land, caused by a violent reaction from the highly
exaggerated prices of four years ago. The Parislies and Missions are all weak and
straggling, and must be so for some years, the policy of the Government with regar<l
to tho Canadian Pacific Ilailway in i)ushing it through to the Pacific, leading to a
wide dispersion of immigrants over a line of 1,0<K) miles. At present most go beyond
Manitoba to get free land, though if they had even snudl means they would do
more wisely to buy land in Manitoba, which tliey could get at very trifling cost.
Excellent land can be got at present within from six to twenty miles from Winnipeg,
and near the railway, for 1/. to 21. 10^. an acre. There is very great need of helj)
towards churches and parsonages, not to spr-ak of missionaries' salaries. A matter of
vital moment is the strengthening and securing st. .Tohn'« Collpji^ro. There is a

this debt is owing lo Bnbscriplions, in dependence on which the new College wiui

tor mathematics and nataral ncience, bnt tlie interest on the debt stands in the way.
It woold bo greatly helped out of its difficnilics by the completion oE the Endowment

of St. Helena (distant from Africa 1,200 miles, nnd from Brazil 1,800
miles), Aeccnmon, and Tristan d'Acnnha, with a population of about
li,400. Tlicnativcsot St. IIe1enn,withI1wcxcciitionof afewEngliMh

Sues Canal it has decreased so much that the people are now Tory poor, and unable
to give salBcicnt support to the work of the Church, which is carried on with mnch
ilifficulty, although the Diocese receives a liberal grant from the S.P.G.
Chnreb Weifc^There ore about B.OOO Cborcb merabcru, of whom 330 are com-
manicants. There arc 5 consecrated Churciies, with 2 misBton stations. But at
present there arc only 3 Clergy in tiic DioC4.'se, thoui;h I am expecting one from
England shortly. Two districts are vacant, and so great is our jioverty now, that I
am compelled to uDile them, in onlcr to raise suflicient inonic for one clergyman.
In Ht. Helena there are i Govcniraeut schools, 2 founde<l liy the St, Helena Benevo-

Africans : in all these religions instruction is given according to the doctrine of tlir
Church of England. There arc T Sunday schools in St. Helena, 1 at Ascension, and

two years the whole of the upper plateau, lying immediately under the Drakensberg,
has been surveyed and sold to English and Dutch farmers.
The natives are on the whole of an intellectual type, being in particular able
speakers. There are the conservative party and the party of progress among them,
the former being opposed to Christianity, mainly through the fear that it will bring
in European rule and habits, and the latter, to a certain extent, favourable to it, con-
sidering it as involved in civilisation. The native trade is in wool, hides, horns, grain,
und tobacco. Agriculture is advancing among the natives ; farming is carried on to
a considerable extent. There is little or no immigration from home.
Church Work.— The Diocese is divided into 12 parishes, or parochial districts,
most of which contain a number of out-stations or chapelries. The Church members
number about 9,000, of whom about 2,400 are communicants. The Clergy include
the Bishop, Coadjutor-Bishop, 11 Priests (one native), and 8 Deacons (four natives).
There are many native catechists and schoolmasters.
Sducation. — The chief educational work is at Umtata, the Bishop s residence ;
here is St. John's College, in which the Rev. W. M. Cameron trains candidates for
Holy Orders, of whom at the present time there are six. In connection with this
is a school for native boys, who pay 71. a year, and receive an ordinary education ;
of these there are about 18, and as many apprentices, working at trades, as carpenters,
smiths, waggonmakers, and shoemakers, besides one printer, who is learning his trade
at the printing-press in the town. At St. Mark's in the south, and at Clyde^ale in the
north, of the Diocese, there are small training institutions, and there are over 100
day schools, mostly for natives, all of which receive aid from the Cape (Government.
Needs. — A boarding school for girls is about to be started on a small scale. A
brick or stone chancel is much needed for the iron pro-Cathedral.

■to General Beseriptlon. — This Diocese comprises the districts of
JS^ Saskatchewan and Alberta in the North-West Territory of
CX9 Canada, extending over 1,000 miles, from Lake Winnipeg on the
'^'^JBl^^^ . east, to the Rocky Mountains on the west. Its millions of acres
of fertile soil are so great an attraction to immigrants that new
settlements are -rapidly forming, in which missionaries are
needed to attend to the spiritual wants of the settlers. The
Diocese also offers a very large and interesting field for mis-
sionary work among the Indians, as it includes the great
majority of the Canadian tribes, the Crees in the east and centre,
and the Blackfeet and Assiniboines on the west. These are
partly Christian, but the greater number are still heathen.
Four Indian languages are spoken in the Diocese. English settlements have been
formed at many points, chiefly at Prince Albert, Battleford, Edmonton, Calg^ary, and
Fort Macleod. The recent deplorable rebellion has no doubt given a check to settle-
ment, but this will only last for a time, if the measures taken for the preservation
of peace in the future command public confidence.
Church Work. — At Prince Albert, a rapidly growing town on the north branch of
the Saskatchewan River, a college has been established, with three distinct depart-
ments, one for training Indians in the grammar and composition of their own tongue,
as well as in English, and the elements of theology, so as to enable them to act as
missionaries among their countrymen ; the second affording a theological course for
English and Canadian candidates for Holy Orders ; the thii-d, open to all the youth
of the country, providing education in cia.ssic3, mathematics, and other subjects.
Seven students (four of them Indians) have already been ordained from Emmanuel
College. It has a career of great usefulness before it, if it be supported with sufficient
liberality in this early stage of its history. A University of Saskatchewan has been
established by Act of Parliament, of which the Bishop is Chancellor, and he is very
anxious to hiave Emmanuel College so thoroughly equipped that it may not only
continue to be an effective training school for missionaries, but also become a
centre of higher education for the youth of the country. There are at present 21
Clerry, of whom 11 are supported by the C.M.S., 7 by the S.P.G., 1 by the C. &C.S.S.,
and?from other sources.

This Diocese was the scene of the rebellion of 1885, and we are only beginning to
recover from its disastrous effects; next year we shall, I hope, be in a better position.
Some of onr Missions were entirely broken up by the rebellion, but are now being
reorganised.
The Bishop has recently made a visitation of the Cumberland district of the
Diocese, extending as far as Lake Winnipeg, 900 miles from Prince Albert. During
its coarse he confirmed 233 candidates, consecrated 3 churchyanls, and ordained 2
Indians, a deacon and a priest. It is worthy of note that throughout all this
district there was perfect peace daring the late rebellion.
Needs. — A small endowment is urgently required for the College. There is also
great need for funds to meet the heavy expenses of episcopal visitation, the Bishop
having to fit out a service of men, horses, and waggons for each journey. In August
and September 1883 a visitation was performed, involving 2,200 miles of travel, at
a cost of 200Z. J. Saskatchewan.

DIOCESE OF SYBHET.
Thb Diocese of Sydney is situated on the eastern coast of New
South Wales, and measures about 200 miles from north to south,
and 100 miles from east to west. It comprises but a small pc:rtion
of the original Bishopric of Australia, which was formed in 1836,
and included New Zealand and Tasmania, formerly a dependency
of the Diocese of Calcutta. New Zealand was detached in 1841,
and Tasmania in 1842. In 1847 the Diocese of Australia was again
divided, the Sees of Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide, and Melbourne
being formed, and the Bishop of Australia was created, by letters
patent. Bishop of Sydney, and Metropolitan of Australia and Tas-
mania. The iSee has since been gprcatly reduced by the foundation
of the Diocese of Goulbum in 1863, and of Bathursb in 1869.
Chnrch Work. — There are 90 parishes, 71 consecrated churches, and 156 other build-
ings used for Divine service ; 1 38 Clergymen, 113 being curates and Clergymen licensed
to cores, and 25 being Clergymen licensed without cures. The members of the Church
of England are estimated at 160.000, the communicants at 8,074 ; there is church
accommodation for 40,159, and an average attendance of 31,960. In 1885-6 there
were 8 ordinations— 6 Deacons and 2 Priests— 6,105 baptisms, 1 ,560 marriages, and
1,161 burials, and 969 persons were confirmed.
Education. — In consequence of the withdrawal of the aid hitherto received from
the State, all the denominational schools, except 10, have been closed. All the parishes
have Sunday schools; the total number of scholars is 19,110, the average attendance
13,177, and there are 1,628 teachers.
Colleges, — St. Paul's College, Sydney, is affiliated to the University of Sydney.
There are two scholarships of 25Z., one of 30/., and two of 'iOl. for resident students
desirous of taking Holy Orders ; and several prizes for the students who show the
greatest proficiency in the examinations in Divinity, and in the doctrines and history
of the Church.
Moore College at Livrrjwol. — This college, which is theological, was founded in
1856, and has since that time been the means of educating about 150 candidates for
the ministry of the Church of England, nearly all of whom are now working in the
Australian Colonies. Bursaries are greatly needed for promising men who have not
sufficient means to maintain them during their college course. There are two
scholarships of 50/. and several prizes for students who are successful in the final
examinations.
The King's School at Paramatta was founded in 18H2 for the purpose of supplying
a high-class classical and mathematical education to the young men of the Colony,
especially to those of the Church of England. It is conducted by a Clcrjrynian of
the Church of England, aided by competent masters. There are two exhibitions, the
holders of which must proceed to Oxford or Cambridge ; and two for sons of Clergj--
men, of the annual value of 30/., and one of 25/.

larger State ot the two, is 2,000,000, and that of Cochin about
half n million, tlic combined area being 8,091 square miles. It
is a very interesting region, remarkable for its varied and beau-
tiful pcenei^ ; for a long series of backwaters, or lagoona, linked
toRcther by canals, and affording a waterway lor traffic of some
200 miles ; for its Brahmin aristocracy ; for the curioiu law of

DIOCESE OF TBIVIDAS.
GeBeral Seieriptioii.— Trinidad is nearly the size of Lancashire,
but only about one-lenlh is cullivaled, Iho ciiiet produce being
sugar, cacao (chocolate), and cocon-nut;", MTlien taken from Spain
in 1797 its population was under 18.000, though it had been recently
much increased by tho imniigratiiin of French families and their
slaves, unsettled by tlic revolution in Ihe French islands. The French
element still preponderates, and the language of the natives is
mostly French, degenerating amongst the lower classes to a strange
patoit. of which clipped French is the basis, with a miitare of
Spanish and African. Tho population in 1881 was 153,000, of
whom nearly 50,000 were Asiatics, vix. 4S,000 Hindoos and 1,200
Ohineac, atmut 1,000 were natives of the United Kingdom, 24,000 of British Colonies,
l>iocc5C of ^nni5a6. 275
3,000 of Africa, and 5,000 of foreign countries, chiefly Veneznela. Hindoo inden-
tured labourers are imported at the yearly rate of 2,000 and upwards, of whom
about a fifth return to India, but the large number that remain are fast giving an
East Indian aspect to the villages. In the depressed state of the sugar interest, this
continoed immigration leaves l3ut little employment on the estates for the negro
labourers, who form the bulk of our rural congregations, and distress is prevalent in
all classes. The climate is uniformly hot, the thermometer being usually about 86**
in the shade during the greater part of the day, and only falling as low as 70** at
night for a few weeks near Christmas. The seasons are but two : dry for four
months from the middle of Januarj' ; wet for the other eight months. The yearly
rainfall averages about 67 inches, but varies much.
History of the Charch of England in Trinidad.— Its earliest record dates from
June 1801, when our registers begin. For 22 years there was but 1 clergyman, and
the baptisms averaged 45. On Trinity Sunday 1823, Trinity Church— now the
cathedral, substantially and handsomely built under the direction of the Govemor,-
Sir Ralph Woodford — was opened for divine service. When the Diocese of Barbados
was formed in 1824 it included Trinidad, with British Guiana and the Windward
and Leeward Islands. Bishop Coleridge visited it in 1825, and the number of the
clergy was in his episcopate increased to 6, and 4 country churches were built. In
1844 the island was by ordinance divided into 16 Anglican parishes, of which 6
were endowed as rectories, others as island curacies ; 2 were never endowed. After
this the number of clergy and of churches increased rapidly. The census of 1861
showed that of a total of 68,600 there were 16,246 belonging to the Church of
England, and that in the most cultivated districts our population nearly equalled the
Roman Catholic, their large majority being due to the parts of the island which had
not been much affected by immigration. In 1854 there were 8 churches, 3 chapels,
17 temporary places of worship, and 15 clergy, besides the archdeacon and 4
catechists.
The increase of the Church of England is illustrated by the register of baptisms.
In 1823 the baptisms were 75, and the next ten years averaged 102. In the year
ending June 80, 1886, the infant baptisms in Trinity parish were 692, and in the
whole island upwards of 1,600, more than a fourth of the total r^^istered births.
Chnreli Work. — The number of persons belonging to the Church of England is esti-
mated at nearly 40,000. The congregations average 3,300, the maximum being 6,200.
The communicants average about 1,000, with 2,100 as the highest number at the great
festivals. During the year ending June 30, 1886, 513 persons were confirmed, a new
school and parish church were built, and another church was in course of erection.
Finance. — Previously to 1870 the annual grant from the Island Treasury to the
Church of England amounted to 5,675/., besides which the Bishop had the disposal,
in salaries to Clergy and Catechists, of 650/. from the Imperial Treasury. In 1870
disendowment began, and at each vacancy the stipends of the parochial Clergy are
reduce<l by two-fifths, and allowances for chaplaincy duties in gaols, hospitals, and
other public institutions cease absolutely. How far this reduction shall proceed
remains undefined, except by a provision that, until a religious census is taken (which
was promised at the time, but has hitherto been evaded) our grant is not to be
reduced below 3,000/. The grant to the Roman Catholic Church was at the same
time fixe<l at 6,500/., which gives to the Archbishop 1,000/., and, besides maintaining
all the parochial Clergy, affonls a large margin for miscellaneous expenditure and
investment. No reason was given for the assumed proportion of the populations,
which, if true at any former period, has certainly long since ceased to be so, as shown
in a document forwarded to the Colonial Office after the evasion of the promised
religious census in 1881.
The grant from the Island Treasury, for the year ending Jime 30, 1886, was
3,555/., of which only 1,530/. is free from life interests; that from Her Majesty's
Treasury was 250/. ; the income of the Sustentation Fund from voluntary contribu-
tions was 1,077/.; amount of offertories 1,470/.; of pew-rents in 8 churches 761/.
Sums were also raised for building and other local purposes. The episcopal endow-
ment amounts to 8,250/., the general endowment to 3,680/. (invested on mortgage),
besides real property yielding a nett rent of 194/. The S.P.G. gave 100/. towards

is 600/.
Education. — The number of children on the rolls of our 1 7 day schools, in June
1886, was 1,733. Religious instruction is g^ven for one hour in the week to onr
chUdren attending Government schools in Port of Spain and 6 country parishes. We
have 15 Sunday schools, with 600 average attendance.
Heeds. — 1. Clergy. — Thirty years ago, when districts of the island, now cultivated,
were forest, and the Church population was scarcely half of what it is at present,
there were an Archdeacon, 15 other Clergy, and 4 Catechists; now there are a
Bishop, 14 other Clergy, and 3 paid Catechists. There has been expansion in everj'-
thing except the staif of the Church of England.
2. Money. — The income of the Sustentation Fund barely suffices, with the
Government grants, for the present salaries, and leaves no margin for aid to build-
ings, which, being mostly of timber, do not last long in a damp tropical climate. The
expense of new building or large repair is beyond the means of congregations con-
sisting chiefly of labourers, hucksters, and artisans. The Bishop's income and gifts
from his former parishes in England have alone made possible several works of first
necessity. Within 13 years, 9 new churches and chapels have been built, 7 rebuilt,
with 2 parsonages, besides several enlargements and extensive repairs. The present
income (which is maintained with difficulty) does not enable the Bishop to do more
for the Hindoo immigrants than to employ amongst them a Hindoo catechist. Onr
poverty has allowed the field to be preoccupied by a well-appointed Presbyterian
mission from Nova Scotia.
3. ReUgioui Education far the Upper and Middle Classes. — We have no high school
or college. The Queen's College, preoccupying the ground and excluding religion
(while the Roman Catholics have their own college, aided by 1,000/. a year from the
Government), is a grievance to Protestants, who furnish the greater number of its
pupils.

DIOCESE OF VICTOEIA, HOHO KOHO.
General Description. — Victoria is the city that has gradually
arisen on the north side of the small island of Hong Kong since it
was ceded to England by China in 1843. It contains the residences
of the British officials and merchants, barracks for the troops, and a
densely crowded China town. Hong Kong and the district of British
Kowloong, on the north side of the harbour, contains a Chinese
population of about 1 70,000. An English regiment is always stationed
here, and here arc the headquarters of the general commanding the
troops in the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong. The navy also
is represented by a receiving ship, and some ships of war. The total
British and foreign population, including the naval anrf military establishments,
police, merchant e&ipping in harbour, temporary and permanent residents, probably
numbers not less than 8,000.
The Bishopric— The Bishopric of Victoria was established in the year 1850. The
object of the Bishop of London's letter, issued in 1848 (or thereabouts), by which a
large portion of the endowment of the see was collected, was * the erection of a
missionary college and the maintenance of a missionary' bishop on the coast of China.'
The chief contributor towards the endowment, who, with his sister, gave more than half
of the whole sum collected, repeatedly staled that his principal object was to promote
missionary work in the interior of the Chinese empire' Until 1872 this was the only
English bishopric in China, which is now divided into three dioceses, called respec-
tively. North China, Mid-China, and South China. The Bishopric of Victoria, now,
therefore, includes only Church of England missions and Clergy in South China.
This consists, geographically, of Hong Kong, and the whole, or part, of the seven
ionthem provinces of China, containing a population of about 90,000,000 souls.

Chnreh Work. — I. Chaplaincies for English communities in Hong Kong and
treaty ports on the coast.
The Colonial chaplaincy of Hong Kong has hitherto been supported by the
Colonial Government, bat it has been recently determined by the Secretary of State
for the Colonies to withdraw the grant on the retirement of the present incumbent
of the cathedral, when the support of the chaplain will devolve on the members of the
congregation.
There is also a militaiy chaplain for the Church of England troops of the
garrison ; a merchant seamen's chaplain, and a royal naval commissioned chaplain,
who conducts services on the receiving ship (* Victor Emmanuel') and visits the naval
hospital on shore.
A church has lately been erected at the Peak, Hong Kong, the resort of a large
number of our conmiunity during our six months' summer. It was built by the con-
tributions of Churchmen and Nonconformists, but the bulk of the services held in it
(all but one a month) are conducted by Clergy of the Church of England. There is
also a chaplaincy for the English community at Canton, with church and parsonage
built many years a^o, and another for that at Foochow, with a small but beautiM
and substantial church. These are entirely in the hands of lay committees of the
residents, and are both vacant at the present time.
XL Missionary work among the heathen, supported by the Church Missionary
Society alone. — At Hong Kong there is a handsome mission church, erected many
years ago with funds chiefly given by the English community. Attached to this
church (called St. Stephen's) and mission there are two Clergymen (one English and
one native), 5 Catechists, 2 Biblewomen, a congregation of 166 baptized members,
with a communicants' roll of 66. There are two out-stations also on the island, where
evangelistic work is carried on.
Itinerating work on the mainland, in the Province of Kwongtung, has been
carried on for the last six or seven years by one missionary clergyman, who has
opened seven stations in different parts of the province, some of them at a g^reat dis-
tance from Canton, where his family resides. This work is still in its infancy, the
converts numbering only 60 or 70. Pakhoi, a port at the western extremity of the
Kwongtung Province, situated on the Tongking Qulf, has been recently adopted by
the C.M.S. as a mission station. It is to be occupied by a clergyman and a duly
qualified medical (English) missionary. The latter is now on the spot, superintend-
ing the erection of his hospital and dispensary'.
The chief missionary success in the Diocese has been realised in the Fukien
Mission. Foochow, the capital of the Province, is the headquarters of the mission,
which extends more or loss over o prefectures, and embraces an area of about half
the size of England. This entire work is superintended by 3 European missionaries,
assisted by 2 native clergy. At the close of last year these districts contained a
population of 5,740 Christian adherents, including children, in connection with the
Church of England. Of this number 3,188 were baptized; the communicants
number 2,011, and the candidates for baptism, including children, 2,316. There are
127 out-stations, occupied by 108 Catechists. The greater proportion of the salaries
of these teachers, I regret to say, is paid by the C.M.S. , but earnest efforts are being
made year by year to throw the entire burden of self-support upon the native church.
There is also a varying number of voluntary helpers — at present about one or two
at each out- station, who hold meetings and conduct Sunday services. They are, as a
rule, very unlettered men, who have to work in their fields the greater part of their
time, but weekly classes are held for their instruction, and from among them are
ultimately selected the students for our Theological College.
Church building has been erucouraged from the very beginning, and at the present
moment there are 33 churches, either regularly built for the purpose, or large Chinese
liouses accommodated for Christian worship. The expenses of building were largely
borne by the native Christians, who, though tbey are as a rule very poor, have
willingly and enthusiastically given their money towards this branch of Church
work. In one of the districts there is a medical n)ission, under the charge of an
English medical missionary.
Eduoational Work. — At Hong Kong there is a day school for sons of English
residents, managed by a committee, of which the Bishop is chairman, and containing
278 ^ioccsc of "^idoria, <^ong <J^ong.
about 40 pupils. The Diocesan Home and Orphanage receives Eurasian and destitute
European boys. Last year there were 42 boarders, and 21 day scholars, the latter
including some girls. It is much to be regretted that the Church of England has no
similar institution for Eurasian girls, application to receive whom is continually
being made.
In connection with the C.M.S., there are 9 day schools— 6 male and 3 female —
with an attendance of 333 boys and 117 girls. The education in these schools is
g^ven wholly in Chinese ; they are assisted materially by the Government under the
Grant in Aid Scheme.
The ' Missionary College,' spoken of in the Bishop of London's letter (quoted
above), has not answered the wishes of its founders. The endless variety of dialects
in China (not so well understood 40 years ago as now) prevents the origfinal scheme
of a training college for all the missions in China being carried out, and the rapid
gn^wth of Hong Kong into a busy, important commercial port, soon made it next to
impossible to secure or to train native pupils for missionary work, employment in
English mercantile houses, or in connection with the Government, being eagerly
sought after by the pupils. The school was supported mainly by a Government
grant of one thousand dollars, but this was withdrawn about the time when Bishop
Alford was appointed, and the school was closed. On my arrival I found this large
building (called St. Paul's College), containing quarters for the Bishop and chaplain,
3 large schoolrooms, and a chapel, utterly empty. By the help of the C.M.S. I
opened in 1875 a Chinese school, but I found after four years' trial that the heathen
element so pervaded the school that I could not recommend the Society to continue
their help. Since then I have made several efforts to maintain a theological class, as
the only way open to me to carry out the spirit of the original foundation, but with-
out a missionary chaplain this could not be kept up. I purpose opening at the begin-
ning of next year a small school for the sons of Chinese Christians, giving an English
and Chinese education, and making it a thoroughly Christian school. If I succeed in
this effort there will then be two schools held under the roof of St. Paul's College —
one for English, and one for Chinese Cliristian boys. In the Fukien mission there
are 80 schools, with an average attendance of 10 scholars to each school. These arc
periodically examined by two of the Clerfry, who are specially designated as educa-
tional missionaries, and teachers and pupils are rewarded for good results, somewhat
after the fashion of the Government Grant in Aid Scheme. At Foochow there are a
boys' boarding school and a theological college, under the special charge of the two
educational missionaries before mentioned. These are intended as training institu-
tions for the whole mission, the most promising Christian boys in the country schools
being advanced to the boarding school, which in its turn is the feeder to the college.
The education in both institutions is given in Chinese only. The boarding school has
36 boys, their ages varying from 10 to 19 ; the college has 20 students, who reside for
a period not exce^eding 3 years, and are trained as Cat4?chists and schoolmasters for
the mission ; it is hoped that some of these, after experience gained in practical
work, may eventually be found fitted for Holy Orders. There is juso a girls* boarding
school in Foochow, containing 43 scholars.
A Biblewomen's house, superintended by agents of the Church of England
Zenana Society, receives a number of Christian women, some of whom come simply
for instruction in the Scriptures, while others, more intelligent, are trained to act as
speakers and teachers for their own sex.
Finance. — The contributions of the English at Hong Kong for various church
purposes amounted last year to about 1,106^., those of the Chinese to 17/. At Foochow
the English contributed 2262. and the Chinese 266/. The Public School has an endow-
ment of 1,200/., and the hospital at Pakhoi is being erected out of a fund of about
1,800/. collected by myself when in England three or four years ago.

DIOCESE OF WAIAFTJ.
General Description. — Tbis Diocese was founded in the year
1859. It is bounded on the east by the ocean, north by the Bay of
Plenty, west by 176° E. long, to the Manawatn Gorge, thence
along the boundarj- of the Ilawkes' Bay District (lat. 40° 30' S.) to
Cape Tumagain. The population, according to the census of 1886,
consists of 34,000 English and 16,451 Maori.
Church Work. — The proportion of members of the Church of
England to the whole white population is 50*26; of the Maoris
about two-thirds belong to the Church. The total number of com-
municants is 1,507, 033 of these being English and 674 Maori.
Tliere are 1 7 English churches and 30 Maori, in all 47 ; the Clergy number 32, of
whom 22 are English and 10 Maori. During the year there have been 684 baptisms ;
147 persons have been confirmed ; 1 deacon (Maori), and 3 priests (English), have
been ordained.
Education. — There are 26 Sunday schools, 154 teacher?, and 1,822 scholars. A
Mission Boarding School for Maori boys at Te Ante gives a thorough English educa-
tion to 60 pupils. A similar school for Maori girls at Napier has 65 pupils. These
are maintained by native endowments and Government grants.
Finance. —The amount raised for Church purposes in the year was BJ701.
There is a Training College at Gisbome for Maori candidates for the Ministry,
under the superintendence of Archdeacon Williams, containing 12 students.

Napier, Kew Zealand : Sept. 11, 1886.
DIOCESE OF WELLINOTON.
Oeneral Description. — This Diocese was founded in 1858. It is
bounded on the east by the Diocese of Waiapu, from lat. 39° to 40°
30^; from thence by the ocean to the south and west, and north-
west to the Tipoka stream, near Mount Egmont ; and thence by the
Diocese of Auckland, in a direct line to where the 39° of lat., at
long. 175° 13', intersects the river Whanganui ; and on the north by
the same line of lat. to long. 176° 30^.
Church Work. — The number of Church members is 39,600, of
whom about 5,000 are Maoris, and of communicants 1^45, of whom
1,410 are English. The baptisms were 1,169 (1,050 English), and
221 persons were confirmed. There are 14 Maori churches, besides
many other places in which Divine Service is regularly held, and 33 English churches.
The Clergy number 28, of whom 4 arc Maoris.
Education. — There is a good Church grammar school at Whanganui, under the
Rev. B. W. Harvey, containing about 80 boarders, besides day boys, and there are 36
Sunday schools, at which 2,870 scholars attend.
Finance. — The amount of money raised for Church purposes during the year
ending June 30, 1885, is 12,260/. 195. lOd.; this includes 78/. Gs. Id. for the Maori
Mission and 117/. I9s. 3d. for the Melanesian Mission.
The above is approximately correct, but the returns to June 30 are not all in.
The finance is correct, except that money raised by Maoris is not included, and can-
not at present be even approximately estimated.

Gentral Dstoriptiott.— Th[s ia a missionarj Biabopric, and
wFLt founded in 1870, aa a mcmoritU to Ibe late Bishop
Mackenzie, of Central Africa. It includes Sn-tuilond, Tanga-
liind, end Delagoa llay, with the coast to the north thereof,
and nil (he couutiy between the coast and the eastern boDiiclBiy
of the Tranaraal State, being the parts inhabited by tbo tiibt^
towards the Zambesi itivcr. The extent maj be roughly stated at
300 by 100 miles. The population is considerable, but impossible
to estimate on account of the habile of the natives, who live
in small kraals, scattered over the country, often containing
only six to t«n huts. Of the Zulus and Snaziea a few only
cam to leave the land to work for wages in Natal ; the TongsA
do so more readily, having no cattle. The Zulas, who aro
cortainly the leading race, have fine natural capabilities ; they arc noble in their
bearing, frank and shrewd; idle, because their wants are small and too easily supplied
by the labour of their wii*e8, all the tribes being polygamiats. They have no trade,
and live on mealies (maize), and Kalir com (millet), with curded milk, and a kind
of beer made from the Ealir com.
The resUiration of Cetywayo in January 1B83 was the cause of incessant agita-
tion, even in the Reserve which the British Government then look under ita own
care. At last, in July 1B83, Cotywayo was utterly overthrown by the neighbondng
chief Usibepu, and cnmo as a refugee into the Reserve. His district was overron
by the forces of Usibepu, but the two stations, Kwamatfwaza and Hi. Paul's, remained
untouched, and their itilluence was largely increased by tlie crowd of fugitives who
came to tliem for saiety. Cclynnyo and his party, called the Usuto, kept up the
agitation by constant plots, which did not cease when the ex-king died in February
ISSl. Tlie Usutu party called in the aid of Boer adventurers, broke ont into open
rebellion in the Reserve, attacked the Norwegian mission atations, and threatened
those of the Church, so that mi.ssionariea and people had to abandon their stations
hastily, and cross the boundary to seek protection from the British Qovemmenl.
This step involved the abandonment of houses and crops, and caused sad distress
and (he break-up o£ much gooil work. What will be the outcome of the occupa-
tion of a hirge part of Zululand by Boers ia still uncertain.
ChuTah Work.— The late war and the succession of political revolutions caused
grievous ruin and convulsion, from which the Diocese is only slowly recovering.
In Zululanil there are six stations, with four Priests and three Deacons (of whoin two
are natives), and one schoolmaster ; in {Swaziland there nre three stations, under the
charge Tef.pectivcly of a Priest and two Deacons. There arc schools at all the stations,
but for the most part they are small, except at St. Augustine's, where the attendance
is about lifly by day. The echool at Kwamagwaza was broken up when the people
were obliged to flee (o tlie new settlement at Einlaneni, in the Reserve, bnt this is
not yet advanced enough for regular work. During the past year TO adults and 117
infants have boon baptised, and 119 persons have been confirmed. The number of
baptised persons is now 770. of whom 173 are commanicants.
A small printing-press has lately been procured, with which some otefnl work
has already been done.
PinanOB.— The Diocese is absolutely dependent upon external lud. The S.P.6.
grant tor 1886is600i. Private effort raises about 1 .OOCi, a year, chiefly throngh the
instrumentality of the Net and its editor. The Bishopric Endowment Fund does not
at present produce *00I. a year, but the S.P.C.K, has Intoly granted 2501. to meet
750/. from other sources, with a view to ita increa.se.
ITeadt. — Men are needed, and so ia money for their eupport, as well aa for build-
ings, especially at Etalaneni and the Osatu River. There ia special need of a few
good men, able to assist in solving the many problems, cecleaiastical and social,
which present thenieelves at this lime, and to bring: more scholarship to the work of
tianslation ; alao for tlie more philosoptiicul s(udy of the language, and to edit
books and tracts in the vemacolar for the use of native Christians.

ENGLISH CHAPLAINCIES IN NORTH AND CENTRAL
EUROPE.
By the Right Rev. J. H. Titcomb.
The Episcopal work carried on among these Chaplaincies ought not to be spoken of as
diocesan, since it claims no territorial jurisdiction, being simply the supervision of
English Church congregations. At the same time it has very much of a diocesan
character, and, in respect to area, is as large, if not larger, than any colonial sphere
of labour. It comprises communities within ten different nations — viz., Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and
Russia, and it stretches over a range of ground covering about a million of English
square miles.
It was commenced in the early part of the year 1884, previously to which it had
only been attended to, and that irregularly, by the occasional visits of different Bishops
whom the Bishop of London could best procure for the purpose' of holding Confir-
mations. By the appointment of a Coadjutor Bishop, however, commissioned to exer-
cise reg^ilar and systematic supervision over these chaplaincies, that unsatis&ctory
state of things has come to an end, and the English Churches in these countries
have, at length, become knitted together into one bond of fellowship, and into organic
nnity with the Church of our own country. This new Episcopate rests, notwith-
standing, on an impermanent basis, because it is as yet without any sort of endow-
ment ; and until that has been effected, no one can consider that it has been properly
organised, or that it stands upon any solid foundation.
I» consists of eighty-three permanent Chaplaincies— thd word permanent being used
to denote places where there are fixed and settled Chaplains and congregations, who
reside in them continuously, to distinguish them from other places which are only
occupied by our summer or winter tourists. Of these, ierenty'fiine have already
received, up to December, 1885, due Episcopal visitation, and thirty-two of them a
second visitation. Speaking approximately, they contain an average resident popu-
lation of about thirty-four thousand ^^prwn*. Well-built permanent English
churches are to be found in fifty-three of these places ; wliile, of the rest, fourteen
Chaplaincies use foreign churches, either lent or rented, and sixteen have rooms
adapted for Church service. There are many works of practical, social, and religious
usefulness carried on within them, of which ordinary continental travellers know
nothing ; such as Sunday schools, Bible classes, lending libraries, missionary meetings,
Church workers' associations, &c. Within the period just named eight Churches have
been either newly built or enlarged. It may be mentioned also that, among our Sea-
port Chaplaincies, fourteen have sailors' institutes. Bethels, or reading rooms, and
social gatherings from time to time for our sailors, consisting of concerts, lectures,
and readings for recreation and instruction.
Perhaps nothing has proved a more marked feature in this new departure of our
Continental Church than the institution of Clerical Conferences in different centres
and for different countries. These have l^een held in Lille, Paris, Darmstadt, Lau-
sanne, and Dresden ; two of which have been large open meetings for the laity as
well as the Clergy, and have proved highly serviceable towards the accomplislmient
of three important results, viz., (1) the union and confederation of Chaplaincies,
otherwise separated and isolated, (2) the development of general Church life, and
(3) personal brotherhood.
Kuch are a few of the most interesting features which eharacterise the many-
sidedness of the great work of the Church of England, and which may suitably find
a place of record in its Official Year-Book.

MISSIONARY COLLEGES and STUDENTSHIP ASSOCIATIONS.
As we have at other times described at length the character of the work
carried on in the Missionary Colleges of the Church, we have confined
ourselves for the present to the following shorter records, from which
Churchmen will be enabled to gather some idea of the waj in which
these institutions are furthering missionary work abroad.
The list of Missionary Studentship Associations has been carefully
revised.
ST. AUGUSTINE'S COLLEGE, CANTERBURY.
(Founded by Royal Chabteb, a.d. 1848.)
Oonditioni required for Entrance. — The students must be in communion with the
Church of England, and of the age of about twenty years, or not much less, at the
time of admission. They must be provided with satisfactory testimonials of their
moral and religious character, and special promise of fitness for missionary service.
Every candidaSe, after his arrival in college, andaft^r having passed the matriculation
examination, is for a time on probation ; and, before his formal admission as a student,
must declare his intention of devoting himself to the service of God, in the ministry of
the Church of England, in the distant dependencies of the British Empire.
Aooommedation.~For fifty-two students. The average number of resident students
last year was about thirty-eight.
^penies. — The annual charge for the education and maintenance of each student
is 40^., including rooms, furniture, and attendance. Exhibitions have been founded in
the College, vBiying from 10/. to 40Z. per annum.
Coarse of Study. — The ordinary course of instruction in the College is completed in
three years. The course of study embraces some Latin and Greek classics, mathe-
j[iatics and physical science, the Holy Scriptures in English and Greek, the evidences
of the Christian religion, the standard divines of the Church of England (Pearson,
Butler, &c.), the Prayer Book and Thirty-nine Articles, Church and missionary history,
elementary Hebrew, and a medical course at the county hospital. Besides this, the
study of Oriental limguages for such as arc intended for the East. Intermingled with
these, the composition of sermons, Sunday school teaching, district visiting, and
practical instruction in various branches of manual labour and mechanical arts.
There is also a College printing-press, worked mainly by students, from which have
issued the * Occasional Papers from St. Augustine's,' and other small books and
pamphlets.
G. F. Macleab, D.D.
CHURCH MISSIONARY COLLEGE, ISLINGTON.
Tuis College was founded in 1826 for the preparation of candidates for missionary
service in connection with the Church Missionary Society.
Students are admitted after an examination by a Clerical Committee and careful
inquiry into their physical, intellectual, and spiritual fitness for missionary work.
Accepted candidates who cannot pass the entrance examination arc sent to a prepara-
tory tutor.
Oonrie of Study. — The course is for three years, and comprises the ordinary
branches of a general and theological education, with special reference, in the third
g»f. "Raul's fission ^ousc, ^utgl^. 283
year, to the Oxford and Cambridge Preliminary Theological Examination for candidates
for Holy Orders, and to the Bishop of London's Examination for Deacon's Orders.
All the five students who completed their course in 1884 went up for the Oxford
and Cambridge Preliminary, and all passed— two in the first class and three in the
second. University graduates occasionally join for the third year.
Instruction is also given in the elements of natural science, comparative philology^
and music. Some students also attend medical lectures and walk the hospitals.
Parochial Work. — The students undertake the charge of certain poor districts, for
house-to-house visitation, cottage lectures, open-air preaching, Sunday schools, night
schools, &c.
There is acconunodation for from thirty to forty students.
The cost is wholly borne by the Church Missionary Society, which (where neces-
sary) undertakes the entire maintenance of accepted candidates.

Principal, Rev. T. W. Dbuby, M.A.
ST. PAUU8 MISSION HOUSE, BURGH.
8t. Paul's Mission House was dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Lincoln on St. Paul's
Day, 1878.
Object and Management.— Its object is to educate young men who have evinced
a decided wish to devote themselves to a missionary's life, and to help them to fit
themselves for a higher training at St. Augustine's, Canterbury, or elsewhere.
He Work. — Since the commencement, 92 students have been received, of whom
45 have proceeded to St. Augustine's, 4 to other colleges, while 9 have gone
to mission work direct. The present number is 19. The course of instruction
embraces English, Latin, Greek, the Holy Scriptures, and the Prayer Book. A
portion of each day is spent in gardening, carpentering, &c. The students engage in
some form of Church work, under the direction of the neighbouring Clergy. The
annual charge for the maintenance of each student is 40^, assistance towards which
is often furnished by missionary studentship associations.
Bnnary Fond. — There is a Bursary Fund, intended to assist deserving students
while at the Mission House. There are applications for admission at present from
many deserving candidates, to whom the Fund is unable to render assistance. The
Secretary is the Eev. S. Staffurth, M.A., Frieston Priory, Boston.
W, A. Brameld, M.A., Principal,
MISSIONARY STUDENTSHIP ASSOCIATIONS.
From a report of the various Missionary Studentship ABSociations com-
piled by the Principal of St. Augustine's College, Canterbury, we are
able to state that there is a growing interest in this work. The total
number of students maintained, either wholly or in part, by the various
Associations during the past year was 78, of whom the largest number
(21) was once more supported by the Diocese of Oxford, while a very
fair proportion was maintained by the Associations representing the
Dioceses of Worcester (7), Bath and Wells (6), Ely (6), Canterbury
(5), Hereford (5), and Lincoln (4). It is needless to urge the import-
ance of these Associations as tending to encourage the voluntary offering
of personal service for Missionary work, by providing, when needed, the
requisite means for obtaining the necessary training; and perhaps no
organisation is more likely to bring a Diocese into practical sympathy

ST. STEPHEN'S HOUSE, OXFORD.
This Honse was opened in October 1876 as a place of residence and training of
candidates for Holy Orders, and especially of snch as are looking forward to foreign
missionary work.
Aeoommodatioii. — Since the House was first opened fifty students have been under
training in it ; during the last year there were about twelve students in residence.
The students are all members of the University ; either
(a) Graduates preparing for Holy Orders, whether at home or abroad ; or
lb) Undergraduates in the last year of their University course if intending
to undertake home work ; if intending to be missionaries, they may enter at
any period of their course.
Arrangements are also made for receiving missionaries who need not be members
of the University, but who wish to reside at Oxford during their leave of absence,
either for study or for a time of quietness and rest. The House has already been
useful in this way. The House thus occupies the position of a Theological College
in Oxford; while emphasising by its own rules the cultivation of a devotional
spirit, its members have free access to the opportunities which Oxford affords in the
way of a theological and intellectual training.
Conn e of Study. — The course of study recommended is varied according to the
standing and intentions of the students. Undergraduates are chiefly engaged in
reading for their University examinations. The Principal assists the graduates in
their reading, but all students avail themselves, as far as possible, of the lectures
given by the University Divinity Professors.
The charge for board, lodging, and tuition for graduates is S\l. for the thirty weeks
of residence which are reqi^red in each year ; the charge for undergraduates is 21.
a week.
Charles Mtebs, M.A. (Balliol College), Principal,
MISSIONARY COLLEGE OF SS. PETER AND PAUL,
DORCHESTER-ON-THAMES.
Foundation. — The College, which is governed by a committee, was founded
October 30, 1878.
Accommodation and Expenses. — The College is built for 12 students. Tlie yearly
payment is 60/. The College offers three exhibitions, and in deserving cases help
can often be obtained from one of the Missionary Studentship Associations. Candi-
dates for Holy Orders intending to work in England are occasionally admitted on
payment of an additional il. per term.
Course of Study. — Students are prepared for the Universities* Preliminary Ex-
amination of Candidates for Holy Orders. There is no entrance examination, but
before beginning their theological course students are expected to pass a simple
examination in general subject^i, including the elements of Greek and Latin. There
is a carpenter's shop. The ordinary period of residence is three years, but in certain
cases the College diploma may be granted after a shorter time, at the discretion of
the Principal.
General Work. — The number of students in residence during the term just ended
was eleven. Twelve old students are working abroad, of whom nine have been
ordained.
In addition to the terminal payments of the students about 250/. per annum is
required to meet the necessary expenses of the College. This is derived from coUec-
tions and voluntary subscriptions.
Hugh Penton Currib, M.A., Principal,
^x$&ionatT3i College of §i. ^onxfacc. ^8;
MISSIONARY COLLEGE OF ST. BONIFACE,
WARMINSTER.
This Ck>llege was founded in 1860, by the Rev. Sir James E. Philipps, Bart., with the
object of taking students, who either were too young to enter St. Augustine's Col-
lege, Canterbury, or other missionary colleges, or who from various other causes
could not be admitted into them. Students sometimes, by the wish of their friends,
go straight from St. Boniface to the mission-field. Many of them are wholly or in
part in need of pecuniary help for their college expenses. There are various Dio-
cesan missionary associations from which grants arc to be obtained.
The necessary payments are — Battels, iOl. per annum (payable terminally in
advance), and for books, ice. (about 21. per annum).
The subjects of study are — Holy Scripture ; Classics, English, and Elementary
Mathematics ; Systematic Theology.
All students spend some time in various manual occupations, which will be of
service in the mission-field, such as carpentering, printing, bookbinding, ko.

'.SECTION n.—THE EXTENSION OF TEE HOME AND
COLONIAL EPISCOPATE.
THE HOME EPISCOPATE.
Ab this subject has been very fully dealt with in previous issues of this book, it
is thought only needful very briefly to refer to it. The prevailing activity of the
Church in later days has served to show the immense importance of increased
episcopal supervision, and the results of work in the newly created Dioceses have
more than justified the reason for the creation of these Sees and the vigorous efforts
whic^ have been made to constitute them. The following tabular statement, showing
tvhat has been contributed in each case for the foundation of the Bishopric, affords
abundant proof of the enthusiasm which has throughout characterised this move-
ment. The attention of the Church is, at this time, especially directed to the
foundation of the Wakefield Bishopric, and there is every reason to look forward to
the consummation of this work before the close of this year. It may be thought by
some that the progress of the movement has been slow, but it should be remembered
that besides other difficulties which have presented themselves, the widespread
depression in trade has seriously curtailed the power of many who would otherwise
have liberally helped forward this scheme.
The proposal to restore the ancient independence of the See of Brii^tol has not

It should be remembered that those sums represent the voluntarj' offerings of

from the endowments of other Sees under the provisions of the Act in each case are

THE COLONIAL EPISCOPATE.
(For the substance of this paper we are indebted to Prebendary Tucker )
The fact that tbo year 1887 commcmorafces the first century of the
Colonial Episcopate natarally famishes a reason for a short review of the
circamstances that have led to the growth and development of the work
of the Ghnrch in the Colonies and Settlements of the British Empire.
Commencing with the Colonial Episcopate, the first Colonial See was not estab-
lished until 1787, at which time the Colonial Empire of Great Britain consisted of
Barbados, Jamaica, the Bahamas and certain other islands in the West Indies,
Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Canada and Prince Edward's Island, Gibraltar and
the recently acquired Sierra Leone, with the almost unknown regions of New South
Wales ; Rupert's Land was in the possession of the Hudson's Bay Company, whilst
large settlements in the East Indies as well as the island of St. Helena were the
property of the East India Company.
In all these colonies, though the Church was in a way represented by Clergy and
Churches, there was nothing like systematic organisation or Episcopal supervision.
Britiih Horth America.— It was in 1787 that Charles English, Rector of Holy
Trinity Church, New York, was consecrated first Bishop of. Nova Scotia at Lambeth
Palace, with jurisdiction over the whole of North America, but which was practically
limited to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. A further step was taken in the year
1793 by the formation of the Diocese of Quebec. Tften a long interval occurred till
the year 1839, when the Diocese of Toronto was founded. In the year 1867 the
Diocesan Synod constituted the Diocese of Huron ; and again, in 1862, the Diocese of
Ontario was formed. In 1873 the Provincial Synod, wliicli had meanwhile been
constituted, created the Missionary Diocese of Algoma.
In the year 1850 the See of Montreal was founded, thus relieving the Diocese of
Quebec of its western portion, and in 1875 the Diocese of Niagara was formed out of
the western countries adjacent to the Diocese of Huron. Turning to the eastern
dioceses of North America, it was in the year 1839 that the Rev. A. G. Spencer was
consecrated first Bishop of Newfoundland, his see being formed from Nova Scotia ;
whilst a further subdivision was marked by the consecration of Dr. Medley in 1845
to the See of Fredericton, over which he still presides.
In 1819 the Diocese of Rupert's Land was foundo<l. The conditions of this great
country were so prejudicial to any rapid growth of Churcli extension that it was not
until the year 1872 that any subdivision could be effected ; but in this year the
Diocese of Moosonee was separated, and two years later the Dioceses of Saskatchewan
and Athabasca were constituted. Two more dioceses were founded in 1884. On
the western side of the Rocky Mountains the establishment of the Colony of British
* Raised by the Yorkshire Committee, £10,000 additioual bciug promised Ity tlie Additional Home
Bisbopclcs Society.
^|6 Colonial ^piscopcde. 291
Columbia was followe»l in the next yoar by the endowment of a bishopric* which was
subdivided in 1871*, the mainland being placed in the chaige of the Bishops of
New Westminster and Oledonia. while the Bishop of Columbia retains the charge
of Vancoaver's Island. During the centenaiy then a single diocese in North
America has become nineteen, and there are now OSO priests and deacons of oar
Communion in British North America.
India. — Turning to India, it was in the rear 1844 that an Act of Parliament was
passed creating the Diocese of Calcutta, the Bishop having jurisdiction over the
whole of the East India Company's possessions in the East ; Cevlon. Mauritius, and
Australia being added at subsequent periods to the See.
The Dioceses of Madras and Bomlxiv were severally ci:)nstitntetl in 18215 an«l 1837,
whilst in 1845 the Diocese of Colombo was formed. In the year 1877 the Dioceses
of Lahore and Rangoon were foundtxl, and in 1879 a Miss>ionaT^' Bishop was conse*
crated for Travancore and Cocliin.
There are now in India six Dioceses and eight Bishops, and in addition to the
Colonial See of Colombo there arc five Missionary Dioceses in the Eastern Sees.
China and Japan. — Two anonymous donors having endowed the See of Victoria
(Hong Kong), the first English Bishop was sent to China in 1849. In 1872 a Bishop
was consecrated to take charge of the northern portion of China, this diocese
receiving a further subdivision in 1880 by the consecration of Bishops Scott and
Moule to North and Mid China.
In the year 1883 the first Missionary Bishop was sent to Japan. Dr. M*Dougall
was consecrated in 1855 to take charge of the Diocese of Labuan and Sarawak.
The Wast Indies and Sonth America. — In the year 1824 the Crown was induced
to grant letters-patent for the Dioceses of Jamaica and Barbados, the latter beibg
subdivided in 1842 by the addition of the Sees of Antigua and Guiana. In 1861 the
Diocese of Nassau was created, and in 1872 Dr. Bawle was consecrated Bishop of
Trinidad.
Anitralia. — The representations of Archdeacon Broughton in the year 1836 led to
the establishment of the See of Australia (Sydney); in 1842 the Island of Van
Diemen*s Land formed the Sec of Tasmania ; five years later the Sees of Adelaide,
Melbourne, and Newcastle were founded. In 1857 Dr. Hale was consecrated Bishop
of Perth to relieve the Bishop of Adelaide of Western Australia. In 1859 the
southern half of the Province of Qaeensland became the Diocese of Brisbane ; then
followed in quick succession the formation of the Dioceses of Goulbum, Grafton
and Armidale, Bathurst, Ballaarat and North Queensland, and recently, in 1884, the
Diocese of Biverina. Thus from the single See of Australia founded in 1836 thirteen
new Dioceses have been developed and largely maintained by the contributions of
Colonial Churchmen, in wliich Dioceses there are nearly 700 I*riests and Deacons at
present ministering.
Ktfw Zealand and the Pacific. — The constitution of the Colonial Bishopric Fund
1841 quickly led to the creation of the See of New Zealand. In 1856 the Diocese of
Christchurch was established, and two years later the Sees of Wellington, Waiapu,
and Nelson. Bishop Pattcson was consecrated Missionary Bishop of Mel^esia in 1861 ;
and in 1866 a portion of the Diocese of Christchurch became the Diocese of Dunedin.
Gibraltar. — A Bishop was consecrated for the Diocese of Gibraltar in the year
1842. Bishop Alexander was consecrated Bishop of the Church of England in
Jerusalem in 1841.
AMea. — In 1852 the continent of Africa received a second Bishop in the first
Bishop of Sierra Leone, and in 1853 tlic Diocese of Cape Town, founded in 1847, was
relieved of the eastern province and the Colony of Natal by the consecration of
Bishops for Graham's Town and Natal. In 1854 the first Bishop was consecrated for
tbe Island of Mauritius, and in 1859 for St. Helena, and in 1861 the first Missionary
Bishop went to Central Africa,
Missionary Bishopo. — In the year 1861 a new and important departure in the
history of the Church of England was marked by planting the episcopate outside the
dominions of the British Crown, bishops being sent to Honolulu, Zambesi, and
Melanesia, and subsequently to the Orange Free State and the Niger. In 1869 the
Bishop of the Falkland Isles, and in 1870 the Bishopric of Zululand, were created ; in
1873 the Bishop of Kaffraria or St. John s. Dr. Eestell Cornish was coivs^x^X.^
Bishop of Madagascar in 1874 ; in 1878 the See of Pretoria was ioun^^ \ wv^. vix\^'^^

CHAPTER VI.
CHORAL ASSOCIATIONS AND BELL-RINQERS* UNIONS.
CHURCH CHORAL ASSOCIATION.
Thb daij and advantage of giving careful attention to the study and
practice of Church music has been recently brought under the notioe of
the Southern House of Convocation. The appointed committee sub-
mitted its report at the sittings of last year, when the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted, and subsequently accepted by the Upper
House :—
Chvreh Muiie— Resolutions on Report* (No. 1(^7) Moved by Canon
Crosse : —
1. ' That it is desirable that, while encouragement avJ free scope should be given
generally to the development of Church music, those ports of the Church service in
which the musical rendering has been fixed by custom during the last 300 years
should not be the subject of innovations.*
2. *That since it is probable that the general cultivation of music will tend to
improve the habits of the people, it is desirable that efforts should be made by school
managers to co-operate with the Education Department in promoting singing from
notes in elementary schools as far as local circumstances may allow/
3. ' That, as students in training colleges are instructed in the theory and practice
of vocal and instrumental music, the utility of such instruction would be enhanced
if the degree of proficiency disclosed by examination were attested by certificates
given under the authority of the Education Department.'
4. ' That it is desirable that at least the rudiments of music should be cultivated
by students in theological colleges, and by others intending to offer themselves as
candidates for Holy Orders.'
5. ' That it is desirable that the various choral associations within each diocese
should be united by means of a central committee for the purpose of promoting the
efficient and economical organisation of festivals and united services, and for
advancing the interests and welfare of local choirs.'
6. * That the special attention of the Clergy be called to the important subject
of the moral and religious training of choristers.'
7. *That the foregoing Resolutions be submitted to the Upper House, with a
recjuest that his Grace the President and their lordships the Bishops will take such
action with reference to them as may seem to them best calculated to promote the
objects in view.' (P. r>0.)
The list of Choral Associations following has been carefully revised
by reference to the Secretary in each case.

CHURCH BELLS AND CHANGE-RINQINQ.
Trsbr can bo no doubt as to the fact that the art of change-ringing has madfe
remaikable pro);rets duriiiK llo liis-t few years; nor that this progress has been dno,
Snavery great depree, In the JiiHuc-ace of the Diocesan and County issocinlions.
The record of the year lHWii-SG equals that of its predecessors in every respect. The
AssooiaUon which has distingiiisliefl Itself most highly is that o£ the ^MidlanA
CoiwtJes : its members have rung no less than seventy-two peals in eleven methoi
or thdr recognised variations ; of which two have been in Double Norwich, ten In

Stedman's Triples, and twelve in the Surprise methods -three of Superlative having
been rung in three consecutive days. In Hertfordshire, also, six peals were rung in
five consecutive days, the methods including Double Norwich, Stedman, and Super-
lative Surprise. The most brilliant performance, one which will probably remain long
nnapproached, has been that of a complete peal of Stedman's Triples, Brook's variation,
rung in silence at Burton-on-Trent on November 20, 1886. Another peal, of interest
in its way, was that rung at Presfcbury in Gloucesteishire on October 14, when Holt's
original peal of Grandsire Triples was rung by seven clergymen in full Orders, from
six different dioceses, upon the seven changing bells. Noteworthy also \ft \\\^ Iw:^
that several bands of six-bell ringers have this year accompWshed )^e«^% ol ^|i\SiVa

Remarks
The aininal festivaJis arc liold iu the catheilral city
of each Dioocse alternately. There are also dis-
trict meetings each year ; and it would almost
appear as if the Association took pains to visit
- such towers as need special attention. Instmotors
are sent to bands needing assistance. Each band
is represented on the geiMFal committee.
District meetings held quarterly ; annual general
meeting held at Gloucester and at Brist<H alter-
nately. Thirty-two meetings have now been
held in various parts of the double Diooesa.
Since its foundation last Maroh the Guild has
rung 9 peals of Grandsire Triples at Boas. The
instructor to the Guild Is Mr. J. W. Washbrook,
of Qxfbrd. In ibis diooase, with few ezceptfona,
little or no change-ringing has hitherto been
known, so that the Guild has a grand but ardaona
task before It.
Peals rung in 188^-86 : 9 of Triples, 18 of Minor
and one of seven 730's iu Bob Minor.
The Master of the Guild is tlie Bev. F. E. Robinson,
Drayton Vicarage, Abingdon. There are 8 In-
structors belonging to it. It issues specimen
rules and certificates of membership. It requires
candidates to produce a voucher signed by the
Clergyman of their parish, and by a ringing
member of the Guild. It has issued, lately,
belfry certificates, and a short OflBce to be aud
in belfries before ringing. Half the expenses of
the Instructor are paid by the Guild.
Restricted to members of the University. Special
■im to enable the fnture Cler^ to superintend
the ringing iu tbeir parishes. Resident members
alone arc rctnrned as ringers.
Resident members alone are returned as ringers.
There are also 67 life members, many of whom
hold office in other Associations, or, having be^n
ordained, take the lead in the belfries of their
parishes. This Society rang the first clerical peal
at Drayton. Berks, in 1884 ; commemorated by
a tablet with the motto * Tnum Tibl damnaJ

Address to the Queen. — Moved by the Bishop of London, seconded by the Bishop

To the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, —
We, your Majesty's most faithful subjects, the Archbishop and Bishops and
Clergy of the Province of Canterbury, in Convocation assembled, approach your
Majesty with the assurance of our dutiful and affectionate attachment to your
Majesty's throne and person.
We rejoice that it has pleased Almighty God to keep your Majesty in health and
strength since we last had the honour of addressing the Throne, and we pray that
our Heavenly Father may long continue your Majesty's happy reign over a loyal and
united people.
We desire to offer our humble and heartfelt congratulations on the marriage of
H.R.H. the Princess Beatrice, which has been solemnised since we last approached
your Majesty; and wc pray that God's blessing may ever rest on her Royal m^t^ft'^^
314 ^oitDOcaiion of ^onierbuirfi.
and the Prince her hasband, and tliat their happiness may be a soorce of lasting
happiness to your Majesty.
We rejoice that of the six new sccsi —the foaudatiun of which has been authorised
by your Majesty, with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal
and the Commons in Parliament assembled — two more, the sees of Newcastle and
Southwell, have been endowed by the munificence of your Majesty's subjects since
the first meeting of the last Convocation, so that only one is now wanting to com-
plete the number ; and that a further extension of the Home Episcopate has been
sanctioned by a recent Act of the I..egislature providing for the sepaiatioii of the
ancient sees of Gloucester and Bristol, and we desire to thank your Majesty for having
graciously concurred in the arrangements which liave thus provided for the more
efficient discharge of the duties of the Episcopal office.
Tour Majesty has been graciously' pleased to accept copies of the completed re-
vision of the Authorised Version of the Old and New Testaments, a work which we
trust will be of great service to all English-speaking people, in the understanding of
many passages of God's Holy Word.
It IS our humble prayer and confident hope that although the vast increase of the
population throws enormous difficulties in the way of the beneficent labours of the
Church, yet the self-denying zeal of Churchmen and others, seconding the exertions
of the Clergy, may under the blessing of Almighty God be successful in securing the
continued attachment of the people to the Church of their fathers.
}Ve reftture, further, to represent to your Majesty that a very general feeling eon-
tinues to prevail among the parochial Clergy of the Province of Canterbury that they
are not represented by an odeqMote number of Proctors in the Lmrer Anue of the
Convocation, and humbly again to bring this import4int subject, which has mm en-
gaged the earnest attention of many Convocations, under your MaJesty^s gracious con'
sideration}
We pray that the blessing of our Heavenly Father may rest upon your Majesty
and upon every member of your Royal house.

deacon of Chester seconded the appointment of the Very Rev. A. P. Purey-Cust,
D.D., Dean of York, as Prolocutor, and the motion was carried unanimoosly.

memory of the late Dean of Chester, and of Canon Eden, and to the loss which the
Convocation has suffered by their removal.

Upper House of Convocation of the Province of Canterbury on Church Reform,
adopted February 18, 1886, resolve that they express their general and hearty con-
currence in the views therein contained ; that while certain portions of the Report
are not so distinctly applicable to the Province of York as to that of Canterbury, the
Upper House of the Convocation of York consider it unnecessary to specify such
points, believing that an unqualified expression of concurrence will be most conducive
to those results which both Uonvocations alike desire.*

following resolutions were carried unanimously :—
@ont>ocaHoit of ^ovh. 33 1

legal effect to any aot of the Synod. The Laymen to be elected by the Lay Members

ation, by means of petition to his Grace the President.'
* That his Grace the President be requested to sanction the appointment of a
C^ommittee to report upon the details of this proposal, with power to consult with
any Committee of the other House which may be appointed on this subject.'

1. *That it is desirable that a House of Laymen, being communicants of the
Church of England, be formed for the Province of York, to confer with the Members
of Convocation.'
2. ' That the number of Laymen be not less than the number of this Lower
House, such Laymen being^communicants of the Church of England.'
3. * That the Laymen be elected by the Lay Members of the Diocesan Conference
in each Diocese, and continue to hold their seats until the dissolution of Convocation
next ensuing.*
4. * That the Bishop of each Diocese make his own rules and regulations for con-
ducting such election.'
5. * That the number of elected Lay representatives in each Diocese be equal to
the number of Archdeacons and Proctors of such Diocese.'

definition or interpretation of the faith and doctrine of the Church.'
12. * That his Grace the President, in opening the House of Laymen, or at any
other time in their session, may lay before them any subject (with the limitation
provided in resolution 11) on which he desires their counsel, and that the results of
all the deliberations of the said House on any subjects, whether thus referred to
them or originated by themselves, be communicated to the President.'
13. * That if the above resolutions be adopted by Convocation a Joint Committee
of both Houses be appointed to confer with any Committee that may hereafter be
appointed by the House of Laymen, in order to frame such rules and orders as may
be found necessary.'

332 @ont)Oca(ion of ^ovk.
UPPER HOUSE.
Fehruary 26, 1886.

tion :-^York shall have 15, Durham 12, Carlisle 8, Chester 12, liuicbester 15, Bipon

LOWER HOUSE.
(In Minster Library.)
Parochial Conncili.— The following resolutions were adopted on this subject : —
* That while it is desirable that Laymen of all classes should be admitted to a
fuller share in the management of Church affairs, the establishment by law of Parochial
Tonncils with statutor}' powers for this purpose would be open to grave objections:
and that any proposal to make the members or electors of such Councils consist of all
ratepayers as such without reference to religious belief, would be opposed to the itlea
of a Christian Church, and to the maintenance of Christian truth.*
* That this House, while strongly opposed to Parochial Councils vested with statu-
tory powers as contemplated by the Church Boards Bill, would encourage, where
practicable, the formation of voluntary Parochial Councils, composed of persons who
shall profess themselves to be communicants.*
A jfational Synod. — The following resolution was agreed to nem. con., after being
moved by the Archdeacon of Durham: — * That this House is of opinion that, in the
present needs of the Church of England, it is much to be desired that a National
Synod, uniting the two Provincial Synodjs of Canterbury and York, should be con-
vened; and humbly commends this opinion to the consideration of his Grace the
President and of the Prelates of the Upper House.*
A Parliamentary Vigilance Committee.— Tlie Archdeacon of the East Biding pro-
posed and Canon Tristram seconded the following resolution, which was carried unani-
mously:— *That his Grace the President be prayed to direct the appointment of
a Parliamentary Vigilance Committee of this House to consider and report on any
important measure affecting the Church which may be brought before Parliament.*
Address to the Crown. — The following resolution proposed by Canon Trevor was
unanimously adopted: — * That his Grace the President be requested to submit to
her Majesty *s most gracious consideration the humble and earnest desire of this
House to be admitted to the royal presence with a dutiful and loyal address on the
opening of Convocation in like manner with the Convocation of Canterbury, and in
accordance with the privilege extended to this House by her late Majesty Queen
Anne.'

SHOET OFFICIAL REPORTS.
B; the kindness and courtesy of the Secretaries of Diocesan Conferences,
we have been placed in the position of being able to draw np the following
short Bnmmary of the bosinese proceedings of each Conference, and of the
subjects snbmiti«d for discnssion.
In the year 1884, by tlie kindness of Archdeacon Ualtby, we fnmished
a Bnmmarised account of the constitation of eac)i Diocesan Conference,
giving in detail the vanoiin methods of working. Since the year men-
tioned circnmstances had led to changes, and it had therefore become
desirable to revise these summaries. This the Archdeacon kindly nnder-
look to do, and he baa with considerable labonr drawn np a Beport, which
will be found in the Reference Section, describing tbeconstitntionof each
Diocesan Conference as it at present exists, and other matters of detail
connected with their general management.

contributions within the Diocese; and after eomo remarks on the

in touching terms to the evident deep regret of the Diocese for the
loss of their late President (Dr. Woodforf), and to the kindly way
in wliich he himself had been received, both on occasion of his
installation and in his round of Confirmations since. The Bishop
then referred to two aspects under which the past year seems to
have been remarkable in the history of the Church of England.
(1) The outward aspect, connected with the attack on the Church by the Liberation
Society, which had been beaten off for a wliilc, but for the renewal of which Church-
men must prepare, and be ready to light and protect and defend the endowments for
the sake of the ix)or. (2) The inwanl aspect, especially in connection with the
internal efforts made to strengthen Convocation by the addition of a House of Lay-
men, which was likely to steady the action of Convocation in many points, and bring
the lay mind to bear u})on subjects of special legislation.
The address concluded with reference to the Act just passed for altering the hours
at which marriage may be celebrated, and requested any Clergy who felt difficulty in
the matter to communicate with the Bishop.

At the Annual Session in November, the Bishop, in his opening address, impressed
on the Conference that they had come together to promote the efficiencj of the
Church for the great ends for which in Qod's ordinance the whole Church exists and

some way could be found for placing the laity in a real position to deal with the
affairs of the Church in connection with Convocation and legislation, and thus come
down gradually to Parochial Councils. He hoped that there might be both diocesan
and parochial celebrations of the Jubilee year of the Queen.

This Conference met at Bishop Stortford on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, October I?, and 13, 1886. There was a Celebration of Holy
Communion in the Parish Church of St. Michael, with a sermon.
The Bishop openwl the Conference in the Town Hall, and in tlie
course of his inaugural address expressed a hope that if the attack
which had been made upon the Church were renewed, it would find
her members prepared, as Nehemiah's builders, with their weapons in
one hand while they wrought hard with the other — their weapons
being skill and knowledge to refute the fallacies with which the
assault is mainly carrie<l on ; referre<l to the labours of the Clergy,
and drew attention to the subjects for discussion which seemed to bear on it, viz., • the
employment of Laymen in Mission work,' and * Parochial Councils,' which should
have for their aim, if established, the strengthening and supporting of the hands of
the Clergy.
BITSIKESS.
Additions and alterations in Standing Orders were confirmed for the occasion, but
referred again to a Committee for amendment.

ference, and presented in a tabulated form to Conference. ^

England Sunday School Institute were elected.
DISCTSSIOy.
A paper was read on * Parochial Councils.' — Moved * That it is desirable to secure
the more active influence of the Laity in tome parishes by means of Parochial
Councils, but that it is not desirable to secure this influence by legal enactment.'
An amendment proposed by Mr. H. J. Bushby to leave out the word ' some * and all
t he words after ' Councils ' was rejected, and an amendment by Mr. G. Conrtaold
* That this Conference is in favour of Parochial Councils, but is of opinion that, in
order to be effectual, they should have a statutory force, and that in no case should
any test of Churchmanslup be imposed upon either those who elect or those who are
elected to them,' fell tlirough from want of a seconder. '
How the Church's influence may be brought to bear on the migratory population,
gipsies, navvies, dock labourers, boatmen, factory hands, and on their families.— Pro-
posed ' It is desirable that special services of a Mission character and bpen-aii^ meet-
ings be held, to which the various classes be specially invited (when possible, by
personal invitation), and that all Churches, as far as practicable, be free and open.\
(Carried.) Rev. H. P. Stokes, of St. James's, Wolverhampton (specially invited by the
President), also read a paper. Mr. J. 8. Gilliat, M.P., proposed a rider, 'That a
Committee be appointed to consider the advantage of promoting intercommunication
of the Clergy throughout the Diocese for the purpose of the registration of the
migratory population for the more efficient carrying out of the previous resolution.'
(Carried.)
What further relaxations in the Act of Uniformity are needed ? — Moved, * It is
desirable that the power given by the Act of Uniformity Amendment Act, to use in
church (subject to the consent of the Bishop) services supplementary to those re-
quired by law, should be further extended by removing the restrictions that (with the
exception of hymns and addresses) such services must be entirely taken out of the
Holy Scripture and out of the Prayer Book.' Moved an amendment, *That under
present circumstances it is not expedient to apply to Parliament for legislation on
matters of Church practice and government.'
The employment of Laymen in Mission work. — Moved * Tliat it is very desirable
that the Clergy and Laity should co-operate as much as possible to promote the
employment of Laymen in Mission work in their several parishes throughout the
Diocese.' (Carried.)

The Central Council has now completed its sixth year. Its object is
to give greater unity to Diocesan Conferences and gather up the opinions
of the Church in both provinces on subjects of general interest, with a
view to their being brought prominently, if thought desirable, before
the Convocations and Parliament.
Twenty-seven Dioceses now send representatives, three clerical and
three lay, whose names are given below, many of whom have been also
chosen to sit in the House of Laymen for the Province of Canterbury.
Some doubts having arisen as to the desirableness of the co-existence of
the Central Council and Houses of Laymen connected with the Convoca-
tions, his Grace of Canterbury, in a letter sent to the Council in April
last, expressing regret at being unable to attend, remarked as follows i —
362
§enltal founcil.
* ' The objects of the Central Coancil and the fanetions which it undertook
were, as I have always understood, entirely distinct from those which
have been proposed for the House of Laymen. And it has neyer been
proposed, to my knowledge, that the House of Laymen should enter upon
that work at all. Certainly there can be no greater mistake than to
imagine there has been any idea of placing this as a rival body to the
Central Council. In constitution as well as in functions they are distinct,
and I do not see how they can traveree each other.'
In addition to the elected representatives, members of both Houses of
Parliament, of the Convocations of Canterbury and York, and of Diocesan
Conferences, haye the right to be present at meetings of the Council as
hearers, and also other persons with permission of the President.

ABSTRACT STATEMENT OF PROCEEDINGS.
Session, April 13 and 14, 1886.
After prayer a Report of the work of the Council in 1885 was read, ot
which an account will be found in the Official Yeab-Book of 1885, at
pages 341 to 343.
The Right Hon. H. Cecil Raikes, M.P., was re-elected President for
the year, and the Executive Committee given above nominated.
A Report on Church Legislation, and on the action of the Parlia-
mentary Committees of the several Conferences, as well as summaries of
the transactions and resolutions of these Conferences, were presented, all
which will be found in another form in the Year-Book (see Index).
The following special subjects were debated and resolutions agreed to
thereon :
Chnroh Extension. — Resolved: 1. * That it is most desirable at the present time
to extend and perfect the JSpiritual Machinery of the National Church by a vigorous
united effort throughout the country, through diocesan and mridecanal action.'
2. • That the recent attack on the Church of Wales is an urgent call to Church-
men generally to strengthen the hands of the ecclesiastical authorities in the work
of sustaining and extending the Church in the Principality.'
364 ^cnival Council.
3. * That the following be requested to form a Sab-Committee for the purpoee of
saggesting how to give practical, effect to the two BesolutioDs now peaMd, and to
submit their saggestions respectfully to their Lordships the Bishops for considera-
tion : — The Earl of Jersey, Viscount Emlyn, Mr. Sydney Gedgc, Mr. P. P. Pennant.
Mr. Monckton, Mr. J. R. Williams, Archdeacon Gore, Archdeacon Emery, Canon
Elwjrn, Canon Howell Evans, Rev. Sir Emilius Bayley, Canon Evans.'
Chnroh Defence Organisationi.— * That having regard to the many resolutions
passed by Diocesan Conferences on Church Defence, it is most desirable there should
be some organisation in each Diocese in connection with the Church Defence Institu-
tion, or otherwise, for the purpose of circulating accurate information concerning
the Church of England, both by literature and by public meetings ; and that the Report
of the Resolution be refersed to the Sub-Committee appointed by the last preceding
Resolution.*
Church Patronage.— Resolved : ' That it is desirable that an equitable adjuatment
of the question of Patronage should receive legal sanction.'
The Draft of a Church Patronage Bill was very fully considered, and the principal
points desirable to include therein were agreed upon, for which see the published
Report.
Olebe Lands and Tithe-Bent Charge (Extraordinary). — Resolved: *That the
attention of the Diocesan Conferences should be as soon as possible called to the
proposed legislation thereon.* . '
SECTION V,— EPISCOPAL VISITATIONS.
VISITATION OF THE DIOCESE OF NORWICH.
The Bishop of Norwich delivered a charge at his septennial Visitation in June and
July 1886.
Remarking that he had now entered on tlic thirtieth year of his episcopate, he stated
that of his 63 predecessors during the last 800 years 3 only had held the office so long
as he had. Expressing histhahkfulness for the continued zeal for Church restoration,
and the increase in the number of. Services, he expressed also his fear lest in some
cases the organ and the choir should supplant the congregational voice. The number
of confirmations held yearly had more than doubled since he came to the Diocese,
and the number of persons confirmed had also largely increased of late years. The
numlwr of persons ordained had also increased, by far the larger proportion being
graduates : literates he was still unwilling to ordain, though he thought the. Church
might do wisely to authorise godly laymen to teach, of whom some might gradually
lit themselves for the Ministr>'. After referring to the continued care shown for the
work of religious education, both in Sunday and day schools, and to the support of
religious societies, some of which showed an increase but some a decrease, and
earnestly asking still greater attention to these matters, he went on to speak of the
two great subjects of Church Defence and Church Reform, which, together or se-
parately, had occupied so much attention. In regard to Patronage, he tliongfat the
best corrective of existing abuses would be to give the Bishop, in conjnnotion with a
Council, extended powers of Institution, and to allow the parishioners a right of
objection to the patron's nominee. Convocation, he thought, should be enlarged by
means of an extended franchise, and laymen should have an opportunity of express-
ing their opinions on Church matters ; he regarded the newly constituted House of
Laymen as an important step in this direction, and desired that some legal status
might be given to it. He wished that the Bishop's powers in the matter of Cleigy
Discipline could be enlarged, but thought that reforms in such matters would have to
wait till the constitution of the Court of Final Appeal had been settled. Towards
adjusting the inequalities of clerical incomes, he thought much might be done by the
creation of a common fund, supported by an eqnitable tax on the larger livings, and :
by better management of endowments. In the matter of admitting the Laity to a *
^^iscopat Visitations. 365
share in the administration, he thought the right way to begin would be to give a
legal status to the House of Laymen, which, by involving a definition of the electoral
(|ualification, would necessarily influence the constitution of Diocesan Conferences,
of ruridecanal chapters, and, lastly, the electors of parochial representatives, though
he was not in favour of the creation of piarochial councils ix)sscssing statutory powers.
VISITATION OF THE DIOCESE OF EXETER.
The Bishop of Exeter deliverc<l his primary cliargo at tljc Visitation of the Aroh-
tleaconry of Kxctcr.
After noting with satisfaction that the numbers of male and female candidates
presented in the 109 Confirmations which he had held during the first year of his epis-
c-opate were nearly equal, and included many middle-aged and elderly people, he
recommended that, as a general rule, fourteen should be the minimum age. Advert-
ing to the fact that there were in tlie DioeeKc 147 parishes containing less than 8(K)
sjuls, and that some of the Clergy had spoken to him of the difficulty uf filling up
their time, he spoke of the need of cultivating personal communion with God, and
of remembering the awful value of each soul committed to the pastor's care, and then
proceeded to recommend that Diocesan organisation should be employed to direct
I he unoccupie<l energies of the incumbents of such parishes to the assistance of those
which we're suffering from deficiency" of 'pastoral power, and also that many of the
Clergy might' qualify themselves to' help their brethren by making a special study of

Act; which he hoped would do good by Its direct action, but even more by stimulating
men's consciences. He strongly recommended the observance of Daily Prayer,
Churches being kept open for private prayer, and a weekly Celebration of the Holy
Communion ; and, remarking that our Church had not fixed any hour for the latter,
pleaded that none should judge others in this respect, or condemn those who found
(as he had himself found in his parochial experience) that Evening Communions were
best adapted to the needs of his flock. In regard to cases of excessive ritual, while he
could not deny that an appeal to the Court might become necessary as a last resource,
he announcerl his intention to use his right of veto, except in extreme cases, and
hoped that this resolution would constitute a stronger claim upon the Clergy for
their submission to his episcopal authority. Addressing the laity, he advocated the
formation of parochial councils (though he hoped they would never be endowed with
statutory powers) and the appointment of sidesmen, and in conclusion expressed his
thankfulness for the course of recent legislation — for the rejection of the Deceased
Wife's Sister Bill, and for the extension of the hours of marriage — and hoped that
the Church Patronage Bill might soon be carried, and so put an end to the abuses
connected with the sale of livings.
VISITATION OF THE DIOCESE OF CHESTER.
The Bishop of Chester delivered a charge at his Primary Visitation in October 1880.
He allude<l to the provisions of the Pluralities Acts Amendment Act, and at
greater length to the Report of the recent Commission on Ecclesiastical Courts ; al.'o
to the scheme for reforming the abuses of Church Patronage —wliich ha<l been con-
sidered by a Comniittee of the House of Lords— and to the labours of the Cathednil
Commission. Commenting upon the answers to his Visitation questions, he regretted
to find the practice of Evening Communion prevalent in many parishes, and hoped it
would not be hereafter introduced into other churches ; he urged upon the Clergy to
use every opportunity of visiting their schools and instructing pupil-teachers, and to
endeavour by all means in their power to promote the religious observance of
Bnnday. He recommended the judicious use both of occasional parochial missions
and of the services of the Church Army, only desiring that his own counsel should
first be songht in each case. He dealt with the relations between the Church and
366 Episcopal ^isifoiions.
Dissent, expressing his conviction that in religious work co-operation was impossible,
though in many charitable works it was quite practicable. He then deaoibctl
several proposals for Church Reform which had appeared within the last few months,
referring especially to the question of l*atronagc— for the abases of which he
believed the best rcme<ly would be to entrust the Bishops with gpreater discretionary
power ; and to the re<listribution of ecclesiastical revenues, suggesting that the best
plan would be the appointment of a commission to take over the property of the
larger benefices and make g^nts to the poorer livings. The relaxation of the Act of
Uniformity, desired by many, he did not advocate, though he thought a short supple-
mentary Act might be passed allowing some variation in the forms of service. Into
the subject of Lay CJo operation he entered at length, investigating the question, * Who
is a layman of the Church of England ? ' — a question which he hoped would never be
solved by the renewal of a sacramental test, yet on the answer to this depended the
whole composition of such bodies as parochial councils. He also pointed oat the
futility of proposals so to enlarge the boundaries of the Church as that it should
include all the religious thought and life of the nation, and declared himself opposed
to reforms which would deal with the Clmrch as if she were a merely human insti-
tution. While foreseeing that changes must come, and perhaps very quickly, he
expressed his believe in the Church of England as being the Church of God to this
nation.
VISITATION OF THE DIOCESE OF WORCESTER.
The Bishop of Worcester delivered a charge at his Visitation in June, 1886.
Reviewing the twenty- five years of his episcopate he found much caase for
satisfaction in the increased activity in all departments of the Church. He was glad
to find that while the number of persons ordained had increased, the proportion of
graduates among them had increased in a still greater degree ; he was glad also that
more Board Schools were coming under diocesan inspection, and that daring the past
year no voluntary school had been transferred to a Board, and he exhorted Charchmen
to take their part in the management of Boanl Schools. He was glad to have
seen 12 new Churches built, and 32 restored or enlarged since his last Visitation,
though there was still great need for more Church accommodation, especially in
Birmingham. Reviewing briefly recent Church legislation, attempted or carried, he
expressed his conviction that the question of Church Courts could not long be
allowed to remain unsettled, and that probably the best solution of the problem
would be the establishment of one Central or two Provincial Courts of First Instance,
with appeal to the Queen in Council. He did not favour the proposal for * Free and
Open Churches,' and thought that possibly seats might be better assigned by a
committee of parishioners than by the Churchwardens. Of the value of lay patronage
he had a high opinion, nor did he think the evils connected with sale of livings so
great as they were sometimes represented to be, but he thought the difficolties would
bo greatly diminished if a greater discretionary power were granted to the Bishop,
assisted by a representative council, and an opportunity allowed to the parishioners
of stating objections to the nominee. He thought one of the greatest needs of the
Church at the present time was a General Church Council, which would be greatly
strengthened by the institution of Diocesan and i*arochial Councils, and he felt much
encouraged by the recent formation of the Provincial House of Laymen, but he
thought it a very important matter to obtain tlie autliority of the Crown and Parlia-
ment for such a council. Referring to the question of Disestablishment, he believed
such a thing was impossible unless the Church should lose the affection and confidence
of the people, but in connection with this he could not conceal tlie fact that some
members of the Church were suspected of being unfaithful to the principles of the
Reformation ; he referred especially to the doctrine of Apostolical Succession,
pointing out that while our reformers retained and advocated episcopal government
of the Church, they never ventured to urge for it any exclusive claim to adoption ;
and also to the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and the necessity for loyally
following the guidance of our Church in condemning the doctrines of masses and
of transubstantiation. He thought we should be prepared for changes in the
conditions of our ministry, but should find comfort in the thought that we belong
to a Church built on a Rock against which the gates of hell cannot prevail.

VISITATION OF THE DIOCESE OF ST. DAVID'S.
The Bishop o£ St. David*8 held his triennial Visitation in September 1886, when he
delivered a charge.
Having stated that he considered confirmations the most trustworthy index of the
progress of the Church and of the number of her adherents, he was glad to find that
the number confirmed in late years was about five or six per cent, of the whole
population of the Diocese, being about the same proportion as in some of the
more populous dioceses of England. The number of persons ordained had also con-
siderably increased. Adverting to the agitation against the Church, he said that no
statistics on the subject could be thoroughly trusted unless they were the result of an
official religious census, to which their opponents constantly objected, and ho pointed
out the fallacy of attempting to treat Wales as if it were a separate country from
Kngland, since there were no longer any political or legal distinctions, and even the
distinction of language was losing its hold; nor was the difference of character
greater than would be -found to exist between the inhabitants of one and another
county in Kngland. In reference to various matters of Church reform suggested by
the Upper House of Convocation, he thought the evils connected with patronage
might l)c lessened by giving increased power to the Bishops, assisted by a cooncil,
together with an opportunity for the parishioners to state objections. He would
gladly welcome some easier method for removing negligent and criminous clerks,
but the difficulty lay not so much in the law as in the difficulty of procuring evidence.
Some partial equalisation of clerical incomes might be desirable, and might be
effected by a graduated tax, but he would prefer that a fond so raised should be
devoted to increasing the incomes of particular clergymen, rather than of certain
benefices. The reform of Convocation was closely connected with the admission of
the laity to a share in the government of the Church, and he recommended the clergy
to form parochial councils wherever possible, and he thought it would be desirable,
and indeed ultimately necessary, that such bodies should be entrusted with legal
powers. He proceeded to spoak of three things which he considered most needful
for the clergy in these days — learning, diligence, and spirituality. As to the first, he
feared it had receded of recent j'ears, partly in consequence of the increase of secular
work thrown on tlie clergy ; for the second, he strongly recommended a more
methodical arrangement of time, more conference among the clergy, and more super-
vision of curates' work; as to the third, while he did not think there was less
spirituality than in former times, he did think there was need for far more, and he
recommended parochial missions, and especially those of an itinerating form, such
as had been used in the Diocese of Truro, and Quiet Days as means to this end.
VISITATION OF THE DIOCESE OF DURHAM.
The Bishop of Durham deHvered a charge at his visitation on Thursday, November
25, 1886. The Bishop commenced by reviewing the progress of Church work in the
Diocese during the four years that had elapsed since he last met his Clergy, and
stated that notwithstanding the drawbacks from- commercial and agricultural de-
pression, there was every indication of growth. New parishes had been formed,
Churclies and Mission-rooms built, the staff of Clergy and Lay Workers increased.
Referring to matters of a more general character, the Bishop asserted that the recent
attack made upon the Church called for serious consideration, and had especially
given prominence to the necessity of some Church reforms. His Lordship then pro-
ceeded to discuss the question of patronage, especially with relation to the Arch-
bishop's Church Patronage Bill, which he contended would, if passed, remove nine-
tenths of the evil of the present system, preserving at the same time all its advantages.
The (luestion of Church revenues was next dealt with ; the Bishop did not contem-
plate any such radical change as an equal redistribution of the revenues of the
Church, so that each Benefice should share and share alike, but urged the wisdom
and justice of redistribution in certain cases, a.s, for instance, that all livings above a
certain amount might bo taxed to create a fund for supplementing the needs of
368 i^pxscopat ^isxiaiiom.
poorly endowed benefices. In justification of this proposal his Lordship cited one or
two parishes in his own Diocese where this course had practicallj been followed.
The subject of the reform of Eccleisiastical Courts was next reviewed. Upon this tlic
Disliop did not speak at any length, considering that for the present the matter wa.s
in al>eynnce. His Ix)rdi>hip then ui^ed upon the kinfl consideration of the Clerp>'
and Laity of liis Diocese tlie proposal for oomme'moriiting: the Quiccn's Jabilee by the
erection of a Church House in London.. He pointe<1 out the obvious advantages to bo
eained by giving the Church of England a central home ; almost every other great
Christian community liad sucli a local centre, whilst the Church of England had not.
During the last fifty years the position of the Clmrch \iw\ become memorable by tlio
manifestation of such energy and life as hail had no parallel in the history of the Knglisli
(*huroh in previous centuries. This was reason and claim enough to justify the
erection of such a memorial as was now proposed ; fully admitting the pressing im-
portance of the alternative scheme suggested for tlie relief of tlie poorer Clergy, he
still maintained that this would not meet the object aimed at, which was a visible
monument of the CliurcliN gratitude for a reign of unrivalled peace and piety. The
Bishop concludc<l by reminding the Clergy that the report which he had given them of
Church work would naturally suggest tlie two-fold lesBon of encouragement and
humiliation— of encouragement that the tide of Church work in our day has been
steadily and visibly rising ; of humiliation that God has crowned our feeble efforts with
blessings so disproportionate to their deservings.
VISITATION OF THE DIOCESE OF RIPON.
The Bishop of lU]X)n delivered a charge at his primary visitation in August 1886.
The charge was devoted to treating of matters for the most part of a diocesan
and local character. The Bi.shop paid a tribute of respect and gratitude to the life
and work of Dr. Oott in liceds, as liaving been one of generoos ardour and in-
ezliaustible charity, and then proceede<l to ask for a hearty welcome on the part of
the Diocese for the new Vicar of Leeds. Speaking upon the general question as to
iiow far it was wise or unwise for the Cleigy to take part in politics, he claimed
most undisguLsedly the right of the English Clergyman to act and speak as he
should think fit. He thought it would be disastrous alike to the national and
religious life of England when the ministers of religion of ever>' denomination should
cease to have part or lot in the discussion of the great issues of national welfare sub-
mitted to the nation*s verdict, whilst at the same time his Jjordship asserted that it
seemed to liim to be dishonourable to use the pulpit as an engine in mere party politics.
The foundation of the See of Wakefield next occupio<l attention, and allowing for
the exceptional difficulty that had to be contended with in raising the fuiids, the
Bishop yet felt that they might be sanguine of a speedy realisation of their hopes.
His Lordship then referred to the new Marriage Act (extension of hours), and ex-
])res8ed.his approval of the extended privileges it has given, affortling still greater
<!«myeniencc to rich and poor alike. From i)ractical experience of the wants of the
working clas.ses in the Diocese, the Bishop urge<l that it would be an immense boon
with steady an<l persistent w.a\. During this periwl eight new churches had been
built and consecrate<l, thirty-seven restorcfl, f<>rty-thrce new organs had been built.
His Lordship next discussed the evils conncctt^l with traffic in livings, and pointe<l
out that these evils would be effectually (U)unteracted by the provisions of the Arch-
bishop's Patronage Bill. The charge concluded by a reference to the growing democratic
spirit prevailing throughout the land, showing its<*lf in a desire for a larger share of
administrative power on the partof the Laity over the affairs of the Church. The Bishop
commended very warmly the institution of the House of Laymen, as a step to give
practical effect to this desire, and with a view to promote the same end he advocated
the formation of Parochial Councils upon voluntary principles, that by such an agency
the Clerjjfy and Tiaity might be brought into closer contact with regard to the work
of the Chu'oh, in which they should have common interest.

Chnrcli of Ireland in 1868 (the year before the passing of Disestablishment
Statute) compared with the Church in 1885 as to number of benefices, curates, and
Church members. N.B. — In the benefices of 1885 many are included which existed in
1868, but were not then reckoned as benefices. In 1885 all posts of duty (not merely
curacies) held by a clergyman solely responsible for same are included amongst
the benefices. The returns are as they appear in Charleses * Church Directory * : —

Position of thb Church of Ireland as rboardb Property in 1868
contrasted with 1885.
The tables g^vcn above show that the Charch of Ireland, as it maintainB the
parochial system, has still charge of th^ same area as it had before Disendowment ;
that as regards Church members there is a smaller percentage of dlmination than
any other religious denomination can show except the Methodists, the increase
in which latter denomination is accounted for by the fact that the greater
portion of the Primitive Methodists, who before Disestablishment were counted
amongst the Churchmen, afterwards joined the Wesleyan Body, adding to
their numbers and diminishing those of the Irish Church. The property
from which the expenses of maintaining the Church before Disendowment were
defrayed having been alienated by Act of Parliament, the Church in 1886 had
nothing but what the Clergy who hxid been awarded life annuities conditional on duty
enabled the Church to gain by commutation and composition, and what the other
members of tlie Church voluntarily contributed. The glebe houses built by the
Clergy with their own money had to be bought back by the Church after 1870, and
the lands held by the Clergy in their own possession liad in their improved condition,
the result of centuries of care, to be also bought back at a high price, with the limi-
tation that unless there were exceptional circumstances not more than ten acres
should be held with a glebe or thirty with a see house. An estimate (by Mr. Atkins,
B.L.) made in 1 8C9 as to the glebe houses gave this result : * There are 142 ecclesiastical
residences with no building charges, which will give the Church Body 142 residences
for 3,124/.; 398 residences when the building charges amount to 35,233/., and this
sum is below ten times the amount of the value of site and curtilage; and 410
residences when ten times the tenement valuation of the annual value of glebe house
and site is below the building charges, and when such valuation at ten years* purchase
amounts to 100,349/. The Church Body will thus obtain 950 residences for 138,706/.,
that is, an average of 146/. for each residence, garden, and curtilage.* The oedcala-
tions in this were based on the provisions of the Irish Church Act 1869, sec. 27, and
have no reference to the additional ten acres or thirty acres which might be obtained
on application to the Commissioners. What the Church Body has up to the present
paid fpr the glebes is 542,147/. 13». dd. (less 73,347/. 4«. 2d. sold to the public, or net
468,800/.) The total number of Glebes now vested in the Church Body is 881, namely
772 vested by the Commissioners and 109 vested by private donors. This is exclusive
of 138 glebes sold, and of some vested in trustees. In the year 1868 the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners report that out of their receipts derived from see estates (56,684/.), sus-
pended dignities, &c., and benefices (22,046/.), charges (10,412/.), and taxes (18,054/.),
&c.— in all, from revenue 120,726/., and from capital 30,954/. ; total 183,355/. 16#. 9rf.—
they had expended on churches, 60,786/.; on clmrch requisites, salaries, &c., 37,864/. ;
stipends, 14,400/. ; in all (including however their own office expenses 9,459/.),
140,201/. Ss. dd. Certain advances in respect of capital and a balJEince of 7,658/.
15«. lOd. made up the account to the receipts, 183,355/. 16*. 9rf. Tlie Church Tempo-
ralities Commissioners in their Report (1880) acknowledge the possession of tithe
rent-charge to the amount of 409,689/. a year, and state that the landed property of
the Church amounted to about 229,000/. a year, payable by upwards of 10,000 tenants
occupying some 900 estates. Out of the Church property in their possession the
Commissioners report that besides what they had to give to provide annuities for the
Clergy and Church officers, they had given to Maynooth College for the educating of
students intended for the Roman Catholic priesthood, 372,331/. ; Presbyterian Minis-
ters, 749,799/.; interme<liate education, 1,000,000/. ; pensions to National school
teachers, 1,300,000/. ; relief of distress. 1,500,000/.; owners of advowsons, 778,888/.;
and that they look forward to possessing in 1932 lands and rent-charges of the annual
value of 293,455/. While the duties incumbent on Irish Churchmen are identical in
1885 with those of 1868, it is evident from these figures that the means to enable
them to discliarge those duties are vastly diminished. All the building and repairs
of churches have now to be defrayed by voluntary aid, salaries of church officers,
church requisites, &c., and stipends x>rovided for the Bishops and Clergy, the annui-
tants passing away from day to day. The assessment account for stipends for 1885
shows receipts by the Church Body of 103,424/. I6s. 2d. as against 114,204/. 2s, 6d.
in 1881. The annuities still chargeable on the capital in hands of Church Body are
'^^e @^urc^ of §rclan6. 377
130,810/^ the original amount having been 596,751/. 9«. 2d. The amount paid to
ecclesiastical persons for annuities falling due in \SS5 was 136,972/. lis. Id., as
against 147,299/. 7s. lid. in 1884. The amount paid for stipends under diocesan
schemes in 1885 was 195,162/. 3s. lOd., as against 189,710/. I9s. Id. in 1884. There
was thus a diminution in the pajrments for annuities of 10,326/. 13f. id., and an
increase in the payments for stipends of 5,451/. is. dd. It is calculated that, astoim-
ing that 1,300 Clergy at the least is necessary, the interest of the capital and the
contributions from the parishes, if continued, would only give 194/. a year to each
Clergyman.
THE CHURCH OF IRELAND.
The effect of the troublous times through which the country has been passing is
easily seen on Church finance. The great majority of the AnnuitanUClergy thought
it not right to simply hold to their annuities and do their duty until prevented by
age, sickness, or permanent infirmity. They consented to the commutation of their
annuities and life interests, that is, they allowed the Representative Church Body to
receive a capital sum representing their annuities, subject to the obligation of paying
the annuities on the same conditions as they had been originally assigned. Any
profit was to go to the Church, any loss would have to fall on themselves. The Choidi
Body being able to invest the capital on what was considered undeniable security at
i»ome 4/. 7s. per cent, all round, there was a considerable gain to the Church, as there
was also by the composition of the annuities when a part was received by the com-
pounder and the remainder by the Church Body relieved from any further obliga-
tion except that to the general body of annuitant Clergy, as in the event of
loss the general body of commutants might lean on the capital to make up deficient
in their annual receipts. Of this commutation capital 2,295,177/. 16f. 6d, was in-
vested in mortgages on land at 4| per cent., and 1,135,864/. 18#. Id. at H per cent.
None of this was invested without a very large margin remaining after payment of
interest. But the land agitation has had a serious effect, and the decisions of the
Judicial Commissioners lowering the rents sometimes 25 per cent, has had also an
injurious influence on the safety of the investments, as well as on the ability of the
owners of land to contribute to Church funds as they had done in the yean before.
The arrears of interest on mortgage loans at close of 1884 was 34,975/. 17#. id. Of
this sum 12,149/. lis. Id. was cleared off during 1885, but there was 41,863/. ISs. dd.
due at close of that year, including however in that a sum of 13,177/. P«. Sd., which
would not be required if the interest had been punctually discharged. It is natu*
rally a subject of some anxiety the safety of these investments in the future. The
total receipts from voluntary sources in 1885 as compared with 1884 show a decrease
of 53,444/. 15«. 2d., being 103,424/. 16#. 2d. instead of 114,204/. 2s. Gd. on stipend
account alone, or a total of 137,167/. instead of 190,611/. 16#. Sd. Those who por*
chased in the Incumbered Estates Court with a Parliamentary title, and with the
statement publicly made that the rental would considerably increase on the dropping
of leases, find their incomes much lessened by recent leginlation, and their ability to
contribute to Church funds more than proportionally diminished* And the pur-
chaser of glebe lands, who had by the Act of 1869 to pay one- fourth of the purcnane
money (in cash, in many canes obtained at a usurious rate from the local money-
lender) and 4 per cent, on the outstanding balance, finds his jxM^ition very different
from a parcbascr under lx)rd <«\shboume*K Act, by which \ni would acquire the fee-
simple of his holding on the ba^is of the judicial rent, which is on an average of
25 per cent, reduction of the old rent, and at a rate of 15 to 24 years' purchase at
most, and the right of fretting the whole of the purrhas*; roon^-y and the law crjsts of
mortgage at 3^ per cent, interest. Circuniirtancei like tlu'sr;, reasonably or not, cause
annoyance to those concerned, and when it \h Haif1,as it haKbec'n,tliat Irish Churchmen
ought to be thankful that their Church lias l>een <iif<endowod and disestablished,
for if not wliat would be their position now in these non-fiaying rent times, the
answer made by Churchmen is : Had the Church not been disendowed and disesta-
blished the unsettlement of property and the agitation against fulfilment of con-
tracts would not have taken place. And they call to mind one of the resolutiona
unanimously passed in the Conference held in October 1869, atUi \.\i«X %>\sjc»«iii^^
378 ^^c ^^utrcl^ of Ireland.
Governments had refused to sanction the meeting of the Irish Church Convention or
Provincial Synods pressed on them by the Archbishops as only doe to the Irish
Church, especially when dangers threatened, ' That the alienation of the property of
the Church which it has held for centuries, which it has not forfeited by any fault
of its own, and which it still requires for its want«, is an act of injustice unparalleled
in the liistory of constitutional Government, bringing into doubt and danger all
rights of property, &c.'
The Educational Endowments (Ireland) Commission has excited much interest
from the powers entrusted to it, and by its proceedings. While no doubt good will
result by the incorporation of trustees to hold property, and the correction of abuses
when such be found to exist, yet it is also most likely that much of the property
hitherto held by Churchmen as recipients of State grants will be diverted to other
denominations, and some also of what has been held according to the bequests of
members of the Church be thrown more open than seems to have been intended.
The term * Protestant,' which used to mean in general language a member of the
Established Church, is sought by those interested to necessarily include all Protestant
denominations, thus interfering with the trusts of many endowments, if their con-
tention is allowed by the Commissioners. And the title ' Church of Ireland ' as appli-
cable to the only body that claims it and has hereditary right to it, is also objected
to at the meetings of the Commission, especially by the Roman Catholics. On
the right of the Irish Church, though disestablished and disendowed, to this title, in
addition to the legal opinions given in last year's Church of England Tear-Book,
the following statement has been prepared by the Representative Church Body : —
Title op the Church op Ireland.
The subject of the proper name of the Church of Ireland was considered by the
Legal Committee, and a Memorandum was drawn up, in which it was stated that —
The Church of Ireland is entitled to, and is bound to use, the name of The Church of
Ireland, and is not entitled to assume or to use any other name.
The name Church of Ireland is the same uniformly given !)y the Irish and Imnerial Legis-
latures to the Church of Ireland, — before the Union, m the Act of Union, in the Irish Church
Act, and in subsequent statutes. See 28 Ilenrv VIII. c. 5 ; 17 & 18 Car II. c. 6 ; 6 Geo. I.
c. 8 ; 14 & 16 Vict. c. 72 ; the Act of Union ; the Irish Church Act 1869, ss. 1, 2, 69 ; 88 Viet,
(!. 11, preamble & s. 8 ; 88 & 89 Vict c. 59, s. 4 ; and 47 Vict. c. 10.
Neither the Legislature nor any other law-ful autliority has given to, or assumed to impo(«e
on, the Church of Ireland any new name. On the contrari-, the name The Church of Ireland^
both by recital and by the repeated use of the words * the said Church,' ia incorporated into the
Marriage Act, 38 & ^4 Vict. c. 110. The wonh* * Protestant Kpiscopaliau,* which occur in this
Act, are not used for the nomenclature of members of the Church of Ireland, but as a com-
prehensive term, proper to include members of all other Protestant Episcopal Churches, as well
as The Church of Ireland, which is one of numerous Protestant Episcoiml Churches. That
this is so is obvious from the interpretation clause, which explains that the term * Protestant
Episcopalian' shall mean a member (1) of the said Church (i.e. the Church of Ireland) ;
(2) of the Episcopal Church of Scotland; (3) of any other Episcopal Church. The generic
immc was requisite because otherwise a marriajje could not have been celebrated in Ireland by
tt Clergynuin of either the English or Scotch Church, or between persons one of whom was a
member of either the English or Scotch Church. The same observation applies to the expres-
sion when used in the second Marriage Act, 84 & 85 Vict. c. 49, s. 26. On the other hand, in
the first Act the various religious lK)dics of Nonconformists connected with Ireland are men-
tioned under the various names adopted by themselves.
CHURCH ACTION, 1886.
TnEBE was a Special Meeting of the General Syno<l held on Tuesday, March 23,
1886, summoned in accordance with the following Mandate : —
In pursuance of the authority vested in me by Sec. 16, Cap. I., of the Constitution
of the Church of Ireland, I hereby convene a Special Meeting of the General Synod
of the Church of Ireland, to be held, God willing, on the 23rd day of this present
month, in the Synod Hall, Christ Church Place, Dublin, at 12 o'clock noon ; and I
hereby request the attendance of all Members of the said Synod thereat.
^^e ^1)uxcf) of §ltelan5. 379
The Meeting is summoned for the purpose of taking counsel as to the present
crisis in its relation to the welfare and responsibilities of the Church of Ireland, and
of adopting resolutions in reference thereto.
March 8, 1886. Tlunket, Dublin.
The Sjnod, having attended the celebration of the Holy Communion in Christ
Church Cathedral at 11 o'clock, assembled in the Synod Hall.
The chair was taken at 1 2 o'clock by his Grace the Right Hon. and Most licv.
Lord Plunket, Archbishop of Dublin. Dr. Pilkington, Q.C., was nominated assessor,
the Rev. Canon Morgan Jellett, LL.D., and Ven. Archdeacon Meade, D.D., were
elected Hon. Secretaries by the Clergy, and Mr. Henry AlexanderHamilton, J.P., and
Mr. Chaworth J. Fergusson, J.P., Hon. Secretaries by the lay Synodsmen. The Presi-
dent having delivered an address, the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted, after which the Benediction was pronounced and the Synod adjourned : —
1. That we, the Bishops, Clergy, and Laity of the Church of Ireland, assembled in this
General Synod from all p<irts of Ireland, and representing more than six hundred thousand of
the Irish people, consider it a duty at the present crisis to affirm our constant allegiance to the
Throne, and our unswerving attachment to the legislative Union now subsisting between
Great Britain and Ireland. And we make this declaration not as adherents of a pariv, nor on
behalf of a class, but as a body of Irishmen holding various political opinions, following dif-
ferent callings, representing many separate interests, and sharing, at the same time, a common
desire for the honour and welfare of our native land.
2. That we contemplate with dismay the social disorder, intimidation, and violence which
prevail in many paris of Ireland, due to an agitation, the promoters of which would, it is
evident, have paramount influence in a separate Irish Parliament. We, therefore, protest — in
common with lar^ numbers of our fellow-countrymen who do not belong to our Church —
against the establishment of such a Parliament in this land. We arc convinced that so revo-
lutionary a change would only aggravate the peril to civil and religious liberty, and the
insecuritv of property and life^ which now exist. Nor could any guarantees against such
dangers be enforoed by the Imperial Government in opposition to the will of an Irish Parliament
without a recourse to arms.
8. That we hereby record our devotion to the interests of the great Empire of which this
United Kingdom is the centre — a devotion intensified by our attachment to the country of our
birth. We recognise the advantage and honour we derive from our present Imperial position,
and the conspicuous place which Irishmen have long held among those to whom the £mi>ire
owes its prosperity and its fame. We therefore protest, in the interests both of our countrj'
and of the Empire, against anv measure that could endanger the legislative Union between
Great Britain and Ireland, believing that such a step would lead to the complete separation of
these countries, and to the consequent dismemberment and humiliation of the Empire as a
whole.
4. That, believing, for the reasons already stated, that the policy against which we have
I»rotested would be injurious to the best interests — social, moral, and religious — of our country,
MO consider ourselves further bouud to resist it as tending to impoverish, if not to expatriate,
many of those on whose support the maintenance of our Church, under God, depends, and
thereby to disable her in the efforts which she is making to supply the spiritual needs of her
people.
5. That copies of the foregoing resolutions be transmitted by the Secretaries of the Synod
to her Majesty the Queen, to his Excellencv the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, to the Prime
Minister, and to the Chief Secretaiy for Ireland ; and that the Standing Committee be
instructed to embody the resolutions m Petitions from the General Synod, to be presented to
both Houses of ParUament.
C. That the proceedings of this day, including the address of his Grace the President, the
resolutions, and the speeches reported in full, be printed in pamphlet form and circulated in
the United Kingdom as widelv as to the Standing Committee of the General Synod may seem
advisable, and that the Standing Committee be instructed to embody the resolutions in Peti-
tions from the General Synod to be presented to both Houses of Parliament.
The order of the Synod was duly carried out. A copy of the proceedings was sent
to every member of bath Houses of Parliament, and to other leading men, editors of
newspapers, and others. A copy of the resolutions was also sent to every Clergyman
of the Church of England, at a cost for postage alone of upwards of 100/. Tlio
special meeting was well attended by representatives from all parts of Ireland,
including 1 Archbishop, 7 Bishops, 134 clerical and 179 lay men ; and speeches
were delivered by the Bishop of Limerick, Sir Frederick W. Heygate, Bart., the
Bishop of DowTi, Mr. Richanl Bagnall, the Bishop of Ossory, Kev. Professor Salmon,
38o %l^e ^f^nxcf^ of Ireland.
D.D., Dean of Clonfert, Right Hon. Judge Warren, Mr. T. P. Caimes, Archdeacon of
Derry, the Provost of Trinity College, the Earl of Belmore, Mr. James Spaight, Hon.
Judge Darley, the Bishop of Kilmorc, the Bishop of Killaloc, the Bishop of Deny,
Colonel Ffolliott, and the Bishop of Cork.
The ordinary Session of the General Synod was held on Tuesday, May 4th. The
Synod having attended the Celebration of the Holy Communion in Christ Church
Cathedral, assembled at 12 o*clock in the Synod Hall, when his Grace the Archbishop
of Dublin took the chair. The Right Hon. Dr. Ball was nominated Assessor, and the
President delivered an address, in which allusion was made to the fact that since the
last ordinary Session of the General Synod two Archbishops of the Church bad been
called away — Archbishop Beresford and Archbishop Trench summoned from the
Church militant to the Church above. In it was also mentioned that the Special
General S3rnod had been held in consequence of the invitation that had been given
by the Prime Minister Mr. Gladstone, asking for an expression of opinion on Irish
aSairs, and that upwards of 20,000 copies of the resolutions passed were circnlated,
and upwards of 2,000 pamphlets containing a full report of the proceedings.
Canon Jellett, Hon. Secretary, read the answers which had been received from
those to whom letters or addresses had been sent from the Special General Synod.
lieports were presented to the Synod from : —
The Stanoinq Committeb, which showed the holding of 14 meetings, and gave
account of Finance, Educational Endowments, Rules and Orders of Diocesan Courts,
Trustee Churches, Small Schools, Statutes, Addresses, and other matters.
The Board of Rblioious Education, which showed 4 meetings of the Boaord
and 6 of the Executive Committee, and gave account of the examination in religious
knowledge of the pupils of Intermediate Schools in Ireland, and of the examination
in religious knowledge of the Teachers of Primary Schools, and of the instmction in
religious knowledge of the Teachers in Training in the Marlborough Street National
Model Schools.
The Boabd of Missions, which showed 16,0152. Bs. 5d. contributed to foreign
missions in 1 885, beingf 204,568/. since the Act of Disendowment came into operation.
The Widows and Orphans* Board (Hon. Sees., Rev. Canon Morgan Jellett, and
John H. Nunn, Esq., M.A.), which showed 195 contributors paying annually l,253i.
lOs. Bd., and a capital of 7,257/. 13«. 3^. Only two claims for benefit since the esta-
blishment of the fund in 1876 have arisen.
The Leqislation Committee, Committee for Uniform Printing of Psalms
AND Canticles, Church of Ireland Temperance Committee.
The Actuary appointed by the Standing Committee to audit the accounts of the
Church Body, the Church of Ireland Purity Society, the Irish Socibty, the
Church of Ireland Training College, the Record Committee, and the several
Diocesan Synods also presented Reports. The principal Report, however, presented
was that of the Representative Church Body, of which the following is the
authorised summary : —
I. Receipts for 1885. — The contributions received by the RepreaenUtive Body from all
sources during the year 1885 amounted to 187,167/. U. 6c/., showing a decrease on the receipts
of the previous year (1884) of 68,444/. 15«. 2d, The following are the sums received for the
tteverul accounts for the past two years : —

The Representative Body regret to have to state that this is the smallest amount which
they have received in any one year ; and, although the chief decrease is under tbt head of
Soecial Trusts, yet there has been a diminution also of 10,779/. 6«. Ad, in the chief accoaat,

which income gives on the amount invested an average rate of interest otiL 8«. 3d, \\ot cent.
The total receipts from the above investments during the year 1885 amounteii to 281,1^21/. 1 !«.,
which, on the total amount invested, shows an averace rate of interest of 4/. 7«. Ic/. jH>r cent.
It is right to point out that in addition to the investments al>ovo mentionc*!, tho Repre-
sentative Body have other moneys invested at a lower rate of interest, viz., moneys ailvanood
to the Clergy on life policies, and moneys advanced for the purchase of Glebes. There is nljm
a further portion of the assets of the* Representative Body necessarily uninvested. If the
interest on the whole capital, invested and uninvested, be compared witri the total assets of the
Representative Body, it will appear that the income of the total capital shows an average rate
of 4/. 5f. Sd. per cent., and this is subject to the expenses of the Representative Bmly and of
the General Svnod.
V. Capital. — (3) How appropriated.— The Funds in the hands of the Representnlive
Body are appropriated to the following puq>o8es : — (1) Commutation, (2) Parochial Su8-
tentation, (3) Episcopal Sustentation, (4) Glebes Purchase, (5) Miscellaneous Purinises;
and there are besides (6) other balances not yet finally appropriated. The following table

It now remains to point out the changes which have taken place in each of thc^ six
accounts during the year 1885.
(i.) Commutation Capital Account. — ^The total amount paid over by the Comuussioners of
Church Temporalities to the Representative Body on this account was 7,581,471/.
This capital sum has been reduced to its present amount by the following trans-
actions:—
£
Composition Moneys paid to Clergj-men under Table H., net . . 13'0,16I
Composition Balances . 1,588,811
Advances to annuitants under Table III. 999,714

annuities '..... 1,409,86 L
5,428,459
Leaving Balance in hand as above .... 2,153,012
£7,581,471
The total amount of annuities originally chargeable on the Commutation Fund was
590,751/. 9i. 2d.
Of these annuities there were extinguished — £ s, d.
By Compositions and Advances under Table III. . . . 810,085 11 8
Bv Purchase of Government Annuities, &c 9,665 2 1
By Forfeiture under the Irish Church Act . . . . 120 7 1
By Deaths 146,069 12 10
£405,940 J 3 8
Lpfivin;* Annuities — still chargeable on Januarv 1, 1886 — amount-
ing to ' . . . 130,810 15 6
i:596,751 9 2
The amount paid to ecclesiastical persons for annuities in 1885 wos 136,972/, 14#. 7c/., being
10,326/. 13«. id, less than the amount paid in 1884.
It will be seen that the Balance to the credit of the Commutation Capital on January 1,
1886, was 2,153,012/., and that the annuities chargeable upon it at the same date amounted to
130,810/. The result of the dealings with this fund has been to improve considerably the
l>j>8ition of the Church with reference to it. While of course the Capital is diminishing year
bj- year, the annuities are also diminishing with even more than proportionate rapiditv ;'and
it is hoped that at last, when all the annuities have been paid o(\\ there will be a consfderable
sum remaining for Church Sustentation.
(ii.) Parochial Sustentation, — ^The total Capital Sum in the hands of the Representative
Body, devoted to Parochial Sustentation, is 3,722,756/.— of which 85,850/. is allocated to Super-
annuation, leaving 3,636,906/. for Stipends.
Of this total sum of 3,722,756/. it may be of interest to record that the following amounts
were derived from the sources specified :
» It may be well to observe, that the difference between this total and the total of the Balance Sheet,
nppcnde<l to the report of the Repriseutative Body, consists of simdry outstauding Balances due to
various parishes and individuals.

Private Endowments . .' X373,712
From Contributions to Parochial Endowments and Parochial Assess-
ment by members of the Church during the hist IG years

Church by Composition of annuities of clergymen . . . 1,470,986
Transferred from other funds 216,508
£3,722,756
This sum may appear to be large ; but the interest of it at 4 per cent amounts to only
148,910/. per annum, which, if divided equally amongst the 1.300 Clergy still required for the
service of the Church, would give each only 114/. a year. If we add to' this the sum received
for Parochial Assessments, which in 1885 was 103,424/., both together would amount to 252,334/.,
:ind would give for each clerg}nnan 194/. per annum.
It would appear then that unless some considerable improvement takes place in the funds
of the Church, the average income of tlie Clergy will scarcely reach 200/. p«r annum.
The General S3rnod have already, on the recommendation of the Representative Body,
given grants amounting to 261,121/. to poor {Nirishes.
In the present Report it will be seen that 4,455/. has been expended during the year 1885
in raising tne incomes of annuitant Minor Incumbents and Curates to 200/. per annum ; and
the Representative Body recommend that a further sum of 6,000/. should be given to ]>oor
1 'a fishes from the bequest of Mr. Francis Donagh.
The amount paid for Stipends under Diocesan Schemes in 1885 was 195,140/. 19x. 2d^
being an increa^ of 5,430/. Os, 1<L on the amount paid in 1884.
(iii.) Episcopal Sustentation, — This fund amounted on I>eoember 31, 1884, to 870,023/., and
on December 31, 1885, to 377,297/., showing an increase of 7,274/.
This fund is derived from the following sources : —
Contributions and Interest £226,207
Composition Balances 82,590
Private Endowment Fund 55,000
General Sustenta^ion Fund .....•••• 13,500
£877,297
In order to pronde each of the Archbishops with an income of 2,500/L a year, and each of
the Bishops with 1,500/., a Capital of 500,000/. would be required, llie following sums have
been conditionally appropriated to this account : —
Commutation Capital of deceased Bishops ...... £56,521
General Sustentation Fund 40,000
£96,521
It is proposed in the present Rc|)ort that a sum of 2,332/. should be transferred to the
Armagh Episcopal Fund from the General Episcopal Fund, and also that a grant of 2,500/.
Kliould be made to the same fund from the bequest of Mr. Francis Donagh.
The entire amount, therefore, including these sums, available for Episcopal Sustentation,
is 478,650/. From this it might be supposed that only 21,350/. is required to complete the
endowment of the entire Episcopate, but — as (1) in some Dioceses a larger income than 1,500/.
1ms been provided, and as (2) the Clogher Episcopal Fund, amounting to 21,617/., is included
in the above-mentioned sum of 478,650/.— the actual deficiencv is about 65,000/.
(iv.) Glebes Purchase Fund. — The sum appropriated to Clebes Purchase on December 31,
1881, was 21K),187/. ; on December 31, 1885, it was 299,529/., showing an increase of 9,342/.
This fund is made up of the following sums: —
1. Contributions £202,080
2. Profits on Saks credited to this fund 3i»/>40
£299,r^9
On account of the purclwise of Glcl>es, the Representative Bo<»v paid up to December "1,
1685, 542,147/. 13«. 9t/. Of this amount :—
1. 202,088/. 10*. %d. was contributed by various ParLshcs and private donors ;
2. 71,70-2/. 0«. bd. was repaid by the sale of Glebes ;
8. 1,584/. 145. 9c/. was transferred to this account from the Ossory, Ferns, and Leighlin
Episcopal Fun J, in respect of a portion of the See lands sold for the benefit of that
Fund ; and

SI, 1885, 187,060/. llf. Sd, After deducting the cost price, viz. 71,762/. Os. bcL, and expenses
J»,ayi>/. 08. «</., the profit, .55.098/. 17#., together with Dilapidation Moncvs 2,968/. 0*. 8//.,
inakinj; u total of 58,GG0/. 17«. 8</., has been placed to the credit of the l^arishcs in which
thcHC Glebe'v are situated, to be used in btiilding or purchasing more suitable dwellings. A
portion of thin sum has been transferrcil to other accounts, and there remains a l)alancc ul*
30,540/. to the credit of this fund, as above.
The total number of Glebes now vested in the Representative Body is 881, viz. 772 vestinl
by the CommisHioners, ami 109 vested by private <lonors. This is exclusive of Glebes vestal
in Diocesan or Parochial Trustees, and of the in8 Glebes which have been sold.
It will be seen that a sum of 20j,8ll/. 18«. lid. is still required to complete the purchase-
money of the Glebes. This is chai^eable with interest at 4| per cent, which, with the deductions
for repairs, presses heavily on the Clergy. The sum of 10,000/. a year has been applied tftwards
relieving the Clergy of the burden of rent or of the repairs of their Glebes for some years part.
This sum has been provided from the annual balance to the credit of the Income and Expen>
diture Account, and will continue to be so applied, so long as the latter Fund will bear this
charge.

1. The Diocaan General Funds have arisen chiefly from contributions, and are, in great
measure, used for the assifttance of poor parishes.
2. The Catliedral Funds have been derived from the following sources : —
£
(1.) Private Endownoent Fund 37.910
(2.) Composition Balances 15,084
(3.) Contributions and Interest
(»5,H.'>8
£118,352
3. The Clergy Good Service Funds are intended for the reward of long service and dis-
tingiiLshed merit. They have been made up as follows : —
£
1. Grants from General Sustentati on Fund ... . 48,500
2. Contributions 4,174
£47,671
It is proposed in the present Report that an additional grant of 6,000/. should be given to
these Funds from the bequest of Mr. Francis Donagh, and tlie Representative Body w^ouM
earnestly impress upon thoM anxious to promote the welfare of the Church the importance of
largely augmenting the Clergy Good Service Fund in every Diocese.
(vi.) Other Balances. — ^These consist of certain sums which arc not aa yet finally appro-
priated, and are as follows: —
£
1. Reserve Fund No. 1 65,2^7
2. Do. No. J I 25,000
3. General Sustentation Fund fi3/)51
4. Interest in Suspense 13,177
5. Balance, Income and Expenditure Acount 9,976
6. Profit on Sale of Securitiei 7,268 -
7. Insurance Compensation 41
£184,290
1. Of these Balances, the interest of the Reserve Fund No. I. is at present applied to
increasing the incomes of the Minor Incumbents and Curates, and when fbee from that charge,
50,000/. of the capital has been allocated to the purposes of a Divinity School.
"^^c ^l)nxcff of §frcIott5. 385
2. tt is proposed to raisfer to the Resenc Fund No. II. 9,000/. of the Balance of the
Iiieone and Expenditare Accoant.
8. Fiom the General S jstentation Fund there have been conditionally allocated : —
£
(1) For Uie Primacy 25,000
(2} „ „ Cashel Episcopal Fuid 2,500
(3) „ « Kilmore do. 2,500
(4) „ „ Tuam do 5,000
(5) ^ „ Limerick do. ........ 5,000
£10,000
which would reduce this Balance to 23,551/., char^ceable with the stipends of certain deductible
cuntM^ under the resolution of the General Synod of May 1 1. 1876.
It will thus be seen that, on December 31, 1885. the inone;y's at the disposal of the Qsneral
Synod for Poor Parish Funds, Episcopal Sustentation, and Miscellaneous rurpoees were almost
exhausted.
▼I. Conelniicn. — ^From the foregoin;;^ Summary it apiiears that, in endeavouring; to
improve the financial position of the Church, the objects which her members should especially
set before them are —
1. The ponctaAl payment of the Parochial Assessments, and the clearing off of the
large amount of arrears now due.
2. The completion in each Diocese of the sum necessary for the EyoowuBXT of its
Bishopric
d. The raising of the amount required for the Purchase of the Glebes, so as to
rdieve Uie Clergy from the rents to which they are now liable.
4. The augmentation of Clerical Stipends and* the increase of the Clergy G(K>o
Service Funds in each Diocese.
In ooodndon, it is to be observed that, although the year 1885 was one of great monetary
depreanon, and, although consequently the amount contributed to Sustentation was the
smallest received In any one year since'Diaestablishment, yet there is much to eucourage the
members of the Church. Her financial history is on the whole a record of progress ; and the
Representative Body trurt that the dark clouds which seem now to overshadow the land will
soon pass away, and that the sun of prosperity will once more shine down upon the Churcli
and the Nation.

EPISCOPAL SYNOD.
The Annual Meeting of the College of Bishops was held in Edinburgh on November
23rd. The Primus presided, and there were also present the Bishops of Glasgow, Moray,
Aberdeen, Argyll, and Edinburgh. ITie Bishop) of St. Andrews sent an apology for
absence.
The Primus intimated his resignation of the office of Clerk to the Synod, and the
Bishop of Aberdeen was appointed his successor, a motion by the Bishop of St.
Andrews (submitted in his absence by the Bishop of Moray) to discontinue the office
of Episcopal Synod Clerk having been rejected, as was also a suggestion by his Lord-
ship to revert to the former practice of making the junior bishop Clerk.
A petition from the Clergy of the diocese of Brechin asking for a perfect equality
of position to the Scottish and English Communion offices was ordered to be engrossed
in the minutes of the Synod.
It was resolved after due con.sultation to bring once more before the Lambeth
Conference the subject of the ' Orders of the Ministers of the Reformed Episcopal
Church * in order, if possible, to obtain uniformity of action between the different
branches of the Church, the English and Scottish Bishops having decided not to
ordain men holding the orders in question, while the American Bishops do ordain them.
A letter was read from the Secretary of the House of Bishops of the General Con-
vention of the American Church, transmitting a resolution unanimously adopted b^
the House, expressive of great regret at the inability of the Bishops of the Church in
Scotland to send a deputation to the General Convention, and assuring them that
they would have been warmly welcomed.
The Synod also agreed to the amendments in the Constitution of the Representa-
tive Church Council confirmed at the last meeting of Council, and approved of *the
Model Constitution for Churches ' adopted at the same time.
It was remitted to the Primus and the Bishop of Edinburgh to prepare an appeal
asking Cluirchmen to contribute more liberally to the support of tlie Theological Hall.
The Primus then called attention to the Circular issued by, the Archbishop of
Canterbury regarding the Lambeth Conference of 1888, and to which each Bishop
was requested to reply separately. The Syno<l was of opinion that among other sub-
jects the Conference should deal (1) with the schismatical intrusion of Bishops and
Clergy into other dioceses than their own, and (2) the orders of persons ordained by
schismatical Bishops, on which they desired to have a decision by the whole Anglican
Communion.
A remit was made to the Bishops of Aberdeen and Edinburgh to inquire and
report as to whether the minutes of the Synod should be printed in full or in a con-
densed form.
Referring to a resolution of the Episcoi)al Synod of November 1884 expressive of
a desire for the formation of a Clmrch Temperance Society for the whole Church, and to
the fact that from various causes nothing had yet been done, the Bishop of Edinburgh
moved that the Secretaries of Diocesan Temperance Societies be requested to take
united action in the matter. Tliis was unanimously agreed to, and the Synod was
dissolved.
ELECTION AKD CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP OF EDINBUBOH.
A meeting of the Clerical and Lay electors of the Diocese was held in St. Mary's
Cathedral, E<linburgh, on June 4, 1886, for the purpose of electing a Bishop in room
of the deceased Dr. Henry Cotterill : the Dean in the Chair. The meeting ha\nng
been duly constituted, and the mandate of the Primus niad, the chairman stated
the opinion of the Chancellor with regard to two ciscs of doubtful votes, and then
requested the Clerk to call the roll. In a highly eulogistic speech the Dean proposed
Canon Liddon. A good deal of discussion followed, turning mainly on the nationality
of the candidate and the uncertainty of his accepting the post, and then the Clerical
and Lay Chambers separated, the latter retiring to the vestry, when Lord Morton
was elected Preses. On reassembling, the net result was as follows : — 24 Clerical
and 20 Lay electors had voted for Dr. Liddon, two Clerical and four Tjay electors
had voted against his nomiiiation, while 10 Clergy and 10 Laymen de<A\x^^VciN\>\ft
396 Episcopal ^i^urci^ of §collanb.
Having the necessary majority in both Chambers, the Dean declared Canon Liddoti
duly electc<l. The result was wired to the Canon, who was" abroad. He replied by
telegraph, thanking the electors, but respectfully declining, and afterwards wrote a
long letter explaining his reasons ; among these being his want of practical acquaint-
ance with the work of the Scottish Church, and the fact of his not being a native of
the country.
A new mandate was therefore issued by the Primus, and on August 6 the electors
once more assembled in the Cathedral. The Dean again presided, and, after the
meeting had been constituted and the roll called, made a statement as to the true
position of one of the Clerical electors. The Rev. John Dowden, D.D., Mncipal of
the Theological College, Edinburgh, the Rev. R. Dundas, Rector of Albury, and
the Right Rbv. H. W. Jermyn, D.D., Bishop of Brechin, having been duly nominated,
and their respective claims set before the electors by their Clerical nominators and
supporters, the Chambers separated. On reassembling, it was found that none of
the candidates had the requisite majority of votes. The Lay electors once more
retired, and the Chambers again voted, with the result that Dr. Dowden bad a
majority of votes in both Chambers, and was declared duly elected. Dr. Casenove
intimated that Canon Dowden was perfectly willing to accept oflBce. He was after-
wards consecrated in St. Maiy's Cathedral, Edinburgh, on St. Matthew*8 Day, the
venerable Bishop of St. Andrews being the chief consecrator. The Bishops of Argj'll,
Aberdeen, Brechin, Moray and Ross, Glasgow, and Durham assisted. At Evensong
on the same day the new Bishop was installed and enthroned by the Dean, acting in
behalf of the Bishops of the Episcopal Church in Scotland,
DIOCESAN SYNODS.
I. BBECHIN.— The annual Synod of this Diocese met in Brechin on Sep-
tember 8, 1886. After a Celebration of Holy Communion in St. Andrew's Church, the
Bishop constituted the Synod within the Diocesan Librarj', and the Clerk called the
roll. The minutes. of last meeting were then read, approved of, and signed. The
remits from the previous Synod having been severally reported on and disposed of :
His Lordship began his summary of the events of the year by a reference to the
loss which the Church at large had sustained through the deaths of the Primus and
the Bishop of Edinburgh, and suggested that letters of condolence should be
forwarded by the Clerk to the relatives of both. He congratulated the Church, the
country, and the Diocese of Edinburgh on the election of Dr. Dowden, and noted
with satisfaction the recent collation of Dr. Kelly to the United Diocese of Mora}',
Ross, and Caithness. He next directed attention to the valuable work done by Lay
Readers in his own Diocese, and, while suggesting that they might be more fully utilised
here, and elsewhere, than they had hitherto been, stated that he was always ready and
willing to appoint suitable persons in any of the charges. He then spoke of the changes
in theDiooesan staff, and went briefly over his various Episcopal acts, referring specially
to the work in which they were soon to be engaged — laying the foundation-stone of
St. Andrew's Church, Brechin — a favourite; scheme of the late Bishop Forbes, to whose
sagacity and foresight much of the progress of the Diocese was due. He con-
gratulated Mr. Crabb and the congregation on the commencement of a long-delaye<l
and much-needed work, and hoped they w^ould be enabled fully to carry out the
designs of the architect. He next spoke of the Confirmations of the year, and
strongly urged the claims of Trinity College, Glenalmond, on the whole Church.
After explaining the causes of the failure of the proposed deputation to the Con-
vention of the American Church, his Lordship concluded by again expressing his
satisfaction at the prosperous state of the Diocese.
The Dean then presented the following petition, signed by all the Clergy present :
• To the Right Rev. Father in God, Hugh Willoughby, Bishop of Brechin.
• The petition of the undersigned humbly showeth, —
• We, the undersigned Clergy of the Diocese of Brechin, having in consideration
the present unsatisfactory position assigned to the Scotch Communion OfBce by thft
existing Code of Canons, desire to express our strong belief that some action should
be taken to bring about a perfect equality of position' between the English and the
i^pi^copai §^urc]^ of Scotland. 397
Scottish Offices for H0I7 Commanion. We feel that while the ancient Scottish
Fiiturgy retains its existing inferiority of iwsition a grave injustice is done to ifs
national character, as well as to those who value it as a precious and unique inherit^
ance of our Scottish Churcli. May it therefore please 3'our Lordship to lay this
petition before the College of Bishops, and to take such other steps in the matter as
may seem to your Lordship most advisable.'
In accepting the petition for transmission to the Episcopal College, the Bishop
said he would give it to the Dean for further signatures.
(N.B. — All the Clergy of the Diocese eventually signed it.)
The Statistical Returns were next submitted and an abstract read. Some con-
versation followed with regard to the new forms, and the Bishop requested that all
suggestions and modifications should be sent to him in writing. His Lordship further
said that, by the advice of the Synod Clerk, he had got his private Secretary to copy
out a duplicate of the valuable Diocesan Register, in case of the loss or injury of the
original.
After some routine business, the Bishop dissolved the Synod.
II. 8T. AVBREWS, BTJflKELD, AHB BUHBLAVE.— The Annual Meeting of this
Synod was held in St. Ninian*s Cathedral, Perth, on September 2, 1886. After an early
Celebration of Holy Communion, the Clergy and Laity assembled at 10 a.m., under
the presidency of the Bishop. The Synod having been duly constituted, the roll was
called, and the minutes of last meeting read, approved of, and signed. The Clerk
laid on the table the Statistical Returns for the year, and also replies to the Synodical
letters of condolence sent to relatives of the late Provost of St. Ninian*s.
After speaking of the principal occurrences of the last year, of his own official
acts, and of the changes in the Diocese, the Bishop referred to the loss sustained by
the Church through the deaths of the Bishop of Edinburgh and the Primus. He then
proceeded to speak, at some length, on the study, use, and value of the Book of
<Jommon Prayer, remarking that, while all admitted, in a general way, its merits
and advantages, few apppeciated or turned these to account as fully as they might
and ought to do. His Lordship offered several suggestions with r^;ard to this
matter, and quoted passages from the writings of 33 different authors. Bishops and
Clergy of our own Church, English Nonconformists, Scotch Presbyterians, Americans,
and Foreigners, as to the value of this precious legacy of our fathers — this veritable
gift of G(^. He also referred to what had been said and done against it, and its
use, by individuals and by pul51ic bodies, instancing Calvin, the Long Parliament, and
the Westminster Assembly. He then spoke of the recent erection of monuments in
St. Giles's, Edinburgh, to the memory of Jenny Gcddes, and Alexander Henderson,
and said that it was a bad omen for the nation, inasmuch as it ** confused the first
principles of right and wrong, and crowned with honour what should have been
branded with infamy and disgrace." He next thanked all who had kindly encouraged
and assisted him in the recent re-publication of his ** Appeals in behalf of Unity."
and said that he hoped the Ecclesiastical Union between England and Scotland,
though like their Political Union, regarded as a dream, and long delayed, might yet
by God's blessing, be brought to pass. His Lordship then said that the state of his
health would prevent his longer remaining at the meeting. He would, therefore,
retire, and ask the Dean to take the chair.
The Report of the Diocesan Inspector of Schools (see Abstracts) was then read.
A motion by Canon Farquhar on the subject of enlarging and more fully utilising
the Diocesan Library was, after discussion, generally approved of, and a Committee
appointed to consider details, and to put the Library, without delay, on a working
footing.
Some routine business was then transacted, and the Synod adjourned.
III. GLASGOW AHB GALLOWAY.— The Annual Meeting of tliis Synod was held
at noon, after Litany and Holy Communion, within St. Mary's Church, Glasgow, on
September 8, 1886. The Bishop presided, and, after constituting the Synod,
delivered his charge.
He spoke of his 27 years' service in the Episcopate, and touchingly referre<l to the
deaths of the Bishop of Edinburgh and of the Primus. While lamenting the deaths of
two of their own number, he was glad to say that there had been fewer clmnges than
usual in the Diocese, llis Lordship then narratc<l Ills Kpiscopal acts for the '^^'svx^
398 Episcopal (i^uvci) of ^cottanb.
and made some remarks on the new schedules, on the increased attendance in Sunday
Schools, and on the Diocesan Inspector's Report (#^<? Abstracts, &c.). He next referred
to the subject of the temporary employment of Clergymen, not personally known,
and urged caution, and a due provision for all ministrations during the enforced
absence of Incumbents. The Church and Parsonage at Penninghame were now to le
permanently endowed and conveyed to the Church, and his Lordship commended to
the favourable consideration of the Synod a Petition from that charge shortly to be
submitted to them.
The Synod Clerk, in presenting the Statistical Returns for the year, said that,
owing to the New Schedules being different both in form and in period, any com-
parison between them, and those of last season, would be uttorly misleading.
The Report of a Committee, on the subject of a Young Men's Friendly Society,
suggesting a central evening njeeting, or soir6e in the City, for young men connected
with the various congregations in Glasgow was agreed to, and the Committee
empowered to carry out the suggestion.
A petition from the Vestry and Congregation of Penninghame praying that it be
raised to the status of an Incumbency was, after explanation, unanimously agreed to
by the Synod, and his Lordship, in accordance with the Canon, announced his
formal assent.
There being no other business the Bishop pronounced the Benediction, and
dissolved the Synod.
lY. MORAY, BOSS, AKD CAITHNESS.— The Annual meeting of the Synod of this
Diocese which had been postponed on account of the illness and death of the Primus,
was held at Inverness on October 20, 1886, imder the presidency of Bishop Kelly. In
consequence of the promotion of the Rev. John Ferguson to the office of Dean, there
was a vacancy in the Synod Clerkship, and the Rev; Hudson Teape, Huntly, who
had been acting as Interim Clerk, was unanimously elected to the post. The
Bishop then delivered his charge (which is to be published).
His Lordship referred at some length to the death of the Primus, and to the
excellent work he had done in the Diocese and for the Church. He also spoke in
appreciative terms of the late Dean Christie, Dean Ranken,, and Bishop Cotterill, and
of their work and influence in their several spheres. After touching upon his own
episcopal acts, the Bishop briefly discussed the question of a union of the Churches,
and remarked that while they all wished for greater unity, they could never consent
to anything involving compromise of principle. Uniomnight be more or less remote,
but meantime the duty of members of the Scottish Church was to show, by their walk
and conversation, that they belonged to a body with which it is an advantage to be
associate<l. His Lordship then proceeded to read farewell injunctions addresse*! to
each individual Clergyman of the Diocese by the late Primus. While this was being
done the members of Synod remained standing, and the scene was very affecting.
On the motion of the Dean, the Synod passed a resolution expressive of their con-
dolence with the family of the departed Primus.
After some routine business, the Bishop dissolved the meeting by pronouncing the
Benediction.
V. ABEBDEEN AHD ORKNEY.— The Annual Synod of this' Diocese was held,
in St. Andrew's Church, Aberdeen, on August 20, at 11 A.M., Uoly Communion having
been previously celebrated by the Bishop. After the Synod had been duly con-
stituted and the minutes of last meeting read and approved of, the roll was called by
the Clerk.
The Bishop began his charge by a touching reference to their beloved Primus,
then calmly waiting God's call to his well-earned rest. He spoke of the death of ibe
Bishop of Edinburgh, and said that, while sympathising with that Diocese in her
bereavement, they blessed God for comforting her by the gift of such a worthy
successor. His Lordship next dwelt on their own losses, and paid a high tribute to
the memories of their departed brethren. He looked forward hopefully to the results
of the Lay Deputation scheme then being carried out in the Diocese. Referring to a
former resolution of the Synod on the subject of unity among professing Christians,
the Bishop read a letter from his Blessedness the Patriarch of Jerusalem bearing on
the same subject, and also informed the Synod as to what he had said in reply. His
Lordship then gave a statement of his episcopal acts for the year.
Episcopal @^urcf) of g»coflan6. 399
After some discussion the following motion, submitted by the Ucv. John Comper,
was unanimoiLsly adopted : — *That this 8jnod, advcrtinj( to the petition presented to
the Bishop at its last meeting, by the Clergy and the lay communicant^s of St,
Andrew's, Aberdeen, in favour of a "perfect equality of position between the English
and Scottish rites," also to the petition unanimously a^lopted in the Synod of Moray
and Ross during its sitting last year— presented to the Primus, •* praying his Lordship,
in Ills position in the Episcopal College, to take such canonical steps as are necessary
so to modify Canon 30 as to secure perfect equality of ix)sition for the Englisli and
Scottish rites," declares its entire concurrence in the sentiments contained in these
I'Ctitions, and records its conviction that the present canonical position of the Scottish
I^iturgy is unjust and inexpedient. This Syno<l thanks the liishop for the earnest
and cordial manner in which he identified himself with the bunlen of the Aberdeen
petition in presenting it to his Right Reverend Colleagues, and respectfully requests
him to lay the foregoing resolution before the Syncxi of Bishops, and to use his
influence to obtain for each congregation, with the sanction of the Bishop of the
Diocese, and to the liishops themselves in their Synods, Consecrations, and Ordina-
t ions, entire free<lom of choice to U3e either the Scottish or the English Liturgy.'
His Lordship said he would most gladly lay the resolution before the Bishops.
The Synod Clerk having read the statistical returns, a conversation followed with
r«»gard to the new forms, which were severely criticised, and declared to be unin-
telligible on some points. A Committee was, therefore, appointed to draw up a new
schedule.
The Library accounts were passed, and instructions to look out for suitable
premises for the books given.
The Diocesan Inspector of Schools read his report («ee Abstracts, &c.), and was
thanked for his labours and statement.
The Board of Education, appointed by the Diocesan Council, was nominated as
the Sunday School Committee of the Diocese, and then the Synod was dissolved by
the Bishop in the accustomed manner.
YL ABOTLL AKD THE ISLES.—The Annual Syno<l of this Diocese was held at
Cumbrae, on August 24, 1880. After a celebration of Holy Communion at 8 A.M. and
Mattins at 10 within the Cathedral of the Isles, the Bishop delivered his charge.
His Lordship spoke of the work done, and of the changes which had taken place
in the Diocese during the year. lie then referre<l to Church Registers, and to the
importance of exercising greater vigilance with regard to them tlian seemed to have
been usual in times past. He next dwelt at some length on the subject of the Con-
ditional Baptism of new adherents, expressing his regret that it was not now
insisted on as a general rule. He also urged the most scrupulous exactness in the
administration of the Holy Sacraments, both as regarded matter and manner, and
.said that less attention should be paid to statistics and merely numerical tests than
to thoroughness of belief and spirituality of life. His Lordship then lamented the
frequent absence from the pulf)it of distinctively Christian teaching, with regard to
the person and work of our Blessed Saviour, and spoke of His Gospel and faith in
His Name as the only sure foundations of all our ecclesiastical superstructure. He
next drew attention to the newly instituted Clerical Society of the Holy Spirit, and
spoke of its aims and rules as well calculated to promote earnestness and devotion,
and the true welfare alike of i'riest and people.
The Synod was afterwards constituted by the Bishop within the Chapter Houw,
the minutes of last Meeting a})provf<l of and signed, and the Statistical Returns and
.1 summary' thereof submitted. The Dean was thanked for the very efficient way in
which, for many 3'ears, he liad carried on the work of Synr>d Clerk, and (-anon
Maccoll, who ha<^l been acting for some time as Interim, was appr>inted rennarw-nt.
Synod Clerk.
On the petition of the Vestry and Congregation, All Saints, Invcrary, was rained
from a Mission Charge to the rank of an Incumbency.
The Synod next passed a res*)lution for stren'/th^nin^r the har.ds of the rorij^n-pra-
tion of St. Andrew's, Millix>rt, in an ai»plica»ion to tl.e Trn-itefj* of tli*.- Coll'/<: for a
grant of St. Andrew's SchfK)ls, to replace the old rijiiroh, wljich had nov/ j,a>-^;ed into
other hand.s, consequent on the fale of the property on which it stood.
The Committee on Feu Cliarter.^, kc , was re-ai'f'^»int^r<l, and uhkcA i<i iXwc^i "^^ \\x\»\

The Bishop agreed to a request that he should print his Charge, as in former years,
and tlien dissolved the Synod with the Benediction.
yil. EDIirBTJBOH.— The annual Synod of this Diocese was held in St. Marys
Cathedral, on May 13, 1886.
The Dean, who presided, delivered an address on the events of the year and on
Church work and progress in the Diocese. He began by referring to the recent
removal of their loved and venerated Bishop, who, for 14 years, had gone in and out
among them identifying himself with every good work, and helping in no small
degree to bring them all to successful issues. He spoke of his liordship's sincerity and
sound judgment, and of his Christian bravery and submission when the knowle<lgc
of his illness and its nature were laid before him.
The Dean then detailed the changes in the Diocese, and made brief references to
the formal recognition of St. Thomas's Church, Edinburgh, and its Incumbent, and to
the Mission at Abbeyhill. He next alluded to the Lay Deputation Scheme, and
urged the Clergy not to allow the impulse thus given t.o the Diocesan life to die away.
The recent agitation on the subject of the cqiml dividend and the state of the Clergy
Fund were then referred to, and caution in making changes, and greater care in
admitting new Incumbencies to the list were strongly insisted upon. The subject of
Home Missions was becoming increasingly important, and the Dean remarked that if
lay help were more taken advantage of, and a Mission Iciest put at the disposal of
the Bishop, old Missions would soon develop into Incumbencies and new groiind be
occupied all over the Diocese. He expected much assistance in this way from the
recently formed Home Mission Association, and hoped all congregations would pro-
mote the cause to the best of their ability. Evangelistic work and the urgency of
the need of it, especially in the City, were then referred to, and a combined effort
from some central point recommended, lay help being spoken of as especially
valuable.
The Dean then proposed the following re^olnllon, which was unanimoasly
adopted :— * The members of Synod desire to record their deep sorrow at the removal
from among them of their late Bishop, who for 14 years liad wisely and lovingly
guided the affairs of the Church in this Diocese ; and also to express their unfeigned
sympathy with Mrs. Cotterill and the members of the Bishop's family, who are left
to monm his loss.'
The minutes of last Synod having been read and signed, a proposal for a
memorial to the late Bishop was, after some conversation, remitted to the Diocesan
Council.
The Synod Clerk next submitted the statistical returns for the year ending
December 31, 1885, with corresponding abstract. A report on the former schedules
was laid on the table, and the Committee thanked and discharged, the Clerk adding
that the College of Bishops had recently issued an amended form.
Reports by the Diocesan Auditor, Secretary, and Treasurer, the Inspector of
Schools (see Abstracts, &c.), the Foreign Mission IJoard, the Conimittf e of Patronairo
of the Walker Bursaries, the Sunday School Union, and tlie Young Men's Friendly
Society were successively presented and dealt with.
A strong recommendation of the Committee with regard to the appointment of
a Mi£<8ion~ Triesl was remitted to the Diocesan Mission Board for their favourable
consideration.'
The Rev. T. Wannop was elected Canon of the Cathedral, Hce Rev. W. Bushby,
resigned.
After a good deal of di8cns.sion, it was resolved to defer action in re the Abbey-
hill Mission imtil the new Bishop was elected and could preside over the deliberations
of the Synod.
A motion on the subject of the White Cross Union and its claims on the Clergy
having been adopted, the Dean pronounced tho Benediction, and the Synod
separated.
INSPECTORS* REPORTS.— ABSTRACTS.
I. BRECHIN.— The Rev. W. Hatt notices with deep regret the shutting up of the
Masters* Schools at Lochec and the Knapp, and the great danger that the same fate
awaits Laurencekurk — one of our best and largest country schcols— owing to a reduc-
Episcopal ^fiuvck of ^cottanb. 401
lion of fees by the local School Board. He has gone over all the schools — 14 in
namber— carefiillj, and is happy to say that there is not in the IHooese a adiool,
or a division in a school, where real, good, and thorough work is not being done
for the Church, and for the spiritual welfare of the diildi^ Whatever can be done
by memory is well done, bat the Inspector would like to see a little more thoughtful
intelligence and reasoning on facts and text. Wherever this was found there was
increased interest in the work.
IL 81. AVDBEWS, BmrKSLD, AVB BinrBLAHB.^Of the seven sohools
examined, two were marked rerjf good^ three ymM/, and two very fair. The chief
thing to be noted was the g^reat improvement in the school at 8t. Kinian's,
Perth, dae mainly to the excellent instruction given by the * Clerical Staff of the
CathedraL' •
nL GLASGOW AVB GALLOWAY.— The Inspector was glad to be able to report
an increased attendance in the Sunday schools, and a very satisfactory condition in
all the day schools of the Diocese.
lY. MOSAY, B088, AVB CAITmrBSB.— In the eight schools visited by the
Inspector there were present at examination 746 children — 354 boys and 391 giria —
whUe there had been enrolled in the course of the year, 973. The amount of
Scriptural and general knowledge was very satisfactory, and Mr. Boyoe was able to
give to four schools the mark good^ and to the rest very gomL He agrees with hia
predecessor as to the progress and general eflSciency of the schools in the Diocese.
Y. ABSBDXEV AHB OSnTXY.— The Inspector reported that the number of
schools was the same as last year, and attendance pretty much the same. The
religious knowledge in the great majority of cases was of a decidedly high chMacter,
and in more* instances than formerly he felt himself justified in awarding the bigheat
marks of distinction.
YL ABGYLL AHB THS ISLS8. — No general report was addressed to the Bishop
and Synod, but the individual schools quite maintain their former position.
Yn. EDIHBUBGH.— Canon Sellar reports that he found all the schools he
examined in good working order as regards religious teaching. The new form of
report issued by the Education Board enabled him to give more details of actual
results, and these, on the whole, were satisfactory. At the same time he felt
obliged to say that in some cases there was a reluctance as to the teaching of definite
Church principles on which our schools must stand or fall.

SEFBESENTATIVE CHUBCH COVHCIL AHVVAL MEETIKO.
In the year 1838, the late Dean Ramsay, with the help of a few like-minded friends,
instituted the Scottish Episcopal Church Society, for the purpose of aiding congregations
struggling with pecuniary difficulties, and for other pious ends. For many years the Society
did good service for God and His Church ; and, as new wants arose, efforts were made to meet
them by alterations in its organisation and working. But before long it became abundantly
evident that the Church had quite outgrown the powers and capacities of a charitable society,
however ably managed. And hence, after a series of preliminary meetings and conferences,
the Representative Church Council was duly and canonically established for deal-
ing with questions of finance affecting the whole Church. It took over the funds and
responsibilities of the old Church Society, with the proviso that these should be administered
and carried out on the old lines, and it added new schemes and plans of its own. It manages
the following funds : —
1. The Clergy Fund, for the better support of the Bishops and of the Clergy, by an equal
dividend, and, when necessary-, by additional special grants. This is collected by subscriptions.

The Council consists of the Bishops, Deans, all the instituted and licensed Presbyters of the
Church, the Diocesan officials, and a Lay representative (being a communicant) from each
Incumbency, and licensed Mission. It meets annually, in rotation, at Edinburgh, Glasgow,
Dundee, Inverness, and Aberdeen. In carrying out its work the central body is agisted by the
Diocesan Councils, and by a Congregational Finance Committee in every Chaige.
Its chambers and business centre are at 94 George Street, Edinburgh; Mr. W. W.
Farquharson, Secretary and Treasurer.
The Annual Meeting for 1886 was held in the Freemasons* Hall, Edinburgh, on October 18
and 14, the Primus in the chair.
Prayers were said by the Dean of Edinburgh, snd the roll of membership adjusted. The
following Table exhibits an abstract of the attendance, the numbers present being printed in

The minutes of last meeting, which had been previously circulated, were held aa read, and
were confirmed and signed bpr the Chairman.
In the course of his onening address, the Primus feelingly alluded to the loss the Church
had sustained through the deaths of the late Primus, the late Bishop of Edinburgh, Dean
Ranken, Dean Christie, and Provost Burton, and the Council unanimously resolved to conwy
to the families of the deceased its sympathy with them in their bereavements.
The {Secretary then laid on the table a series of documents, which were accepted as the
basis of discussion.
The Sub-Committee on Business reported that, after careful examination, they were
satisfied that the funds were safely invested.
After some discussion the whole question of the Incidence of Church Expenses was
remitted to a Special Committee — afterwards nominated — with instructions to report to next
Council.
An amendment on the Constitution, giving Diocesan Councils power to elect additional
Lay Representatives, which had been pais^ at last annual meeting, was unanimously agreed
to, and now forms part of the Constitution.
Another amendment, dealing with the places of meeting, which had also been passed last
year, was lost on a division, but notice was given of a motion ** that Perth should be added to
the list of places to be visited.'* It was then resolved to hold the next annual meeting at
Glasgow on Wednesday, October 12, and following days.
A good deal of discussion next took place with regard to the proposed Model Constitu-
tion FOB IVGUMBKMCIBS, which for several years has occupied the attention of successive
meetings, the clauses dealing with enforced demission of Incumbencies and Patronage forming
the batde-ground for the disputants. Eventually the Council accepted and adopted the Con-
stitution as amended by the Executive Committee, and resolved, in terms of a notice given last
year, respectftilly to submit the same to the College of Bishops.
The Secretarv and l*reasurer, the Law AgenC end Auditors were re-elected on the same
terms as formerly, after which the Exbcutivr Committeb, as suggested by the various
Diocesan Councils (see Official Lists), was appointed, Mr. Speir being unanimously re-elected
CoQTener, and the nrst meeting fixed for November 24.
(Episcopal ^^utcf^ of $coilanb. 409
A motion altering Article 7 of the Constitution, so as to give additional powers in the
Investment of Funds, was unanimously agreed to.
Clergj Fund. — ^The Report of this Board having been submitted and spoken to by tlie
Convener, Mr. T. T. OUphant, it was agreed without discussion that a sum of 79/. Bs. 6<f.,
received after the books were closed, be included in the sum distributed this ytar :
That 100/. be voted to the representatives of the late Primus, as Primus, and three equal
dividends to the Bishops of St. Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Argyll ; to the representa-
tives of the late Bishop of Moray ; with a proportionate share to the representatives of the late
Bishop of Edinburgh to date of 'his death :
That a Congr^ation in the Diocese of Argyll, from the date of the acceptance of its Con*
sUtution by the Bishop of that Diocese, be added to tlie Equal Dividend List :
That a'Special Grant and eight Equal Dividend claims which had lapsed through vacancies
in the charges be renewed ; that in another similar case final consideration be delayed till the
appointment of an Incumbent ; that in other two charges, where steps were being taken to
conform to the rule onent Constitutions, the claims be allowed for this year ; that notice of
poraible withdrawal of grant in 1887 be issued to six charges ; and that the List for the year
stand as in the Report, >nth 158 participating Congregations.
A recommendation of the Clergy Fund Board, * That in future it shall be competent, in
cases where a Congregation has been held, subject to the usual appeals, to have faued in its
dut^ to the Clergy' Fund, to give it a Grant (in lieu of the Equal Dividend, and as an alter-
native to depriving it of the Equal Dividend altogether) of some smaller sum not less than
the sum which it has contributed to the Fund during the year, and not less than two-thirds of
the Equal Dividend for that year — a year's warning being given of this under the usual con-
ditions. Also that when, after a vacancy, it is considered undesirable at once to replace it on
the Equal Dividend list, the above action may be taken at once, without warning.*
After a protracted and animated discussion, in which an amendment was moved and with-
drawn, the recommendation of the Board was adopted.
Certain other recommendations of the Clergy Fund Board, bearing on appeals against their
decisions ; on the right of Presbyters, appointed to fill vacancies, to a proportionate share in
the Equal Dividend ; and on a thorough investigation of the relations between the Council
and the Congregational Committee before the appointment of a new Incumbent to a vacant
chaise, were without discussion unanimously agreed to.
The Board for the current year was then constituted ; Mr. James Bruce, Convener. (5ee
Official Lists.)
The suggestions of the Executive Committee and of the Aberdeen Diocesan Council, with
regard to the aUocation of the Sih'EWART, Wood, and Lumsdkn Funds, were then adopted, and
the Council adjourned.
On re-assembling next day at 10.30 am. the adoption of the Report of the Home
Miasion Fund was moved and spoken to by the Convener, and seconded by Mr. Boyd,
Peterhead, who added a suggestion regarding making adequate provision for the supply of
reli^ous ministrations to the fishermen and others at the principal statbns in ScotlEUid
during the herring fishery. The Council unanimously adopted both.
Without discussion an instruction to the Home Mission Board * to consider whether, and
how, the whole mission work of the Church can be put in relation with the Board, and reported
on,' was agreed to.
The disposable income of the Board, together with that of the Home Mission Association,
was then allocated, and the Board for the current year appointed ; Mr. Speir, Convener. {See
Official Lists.)
It was agreed to adopt a suggestion that * Diocesan Home Mission Association Secretaries,
when not already Members of the Board but who are Members of Council, shall ex
officio be so.'
A motion that ' all Priests in charge of independent missions shall, if approved, have
their Home Mission Grant augmented from the Clergy Fund, and made equal to the Clergy
Equal Dividend Grant,' was met by a direct negative ; bv a suggestion of an inquiry ; and
bjjr a proposal to allow missions to collect for the Home Mission Fund instead of the Clergy
Fund. The negative having been carried by a large majority, the Chairman ruled that the
other two amendments could not competently be put to the meeting.
Foreign Mittion Fund.— The Report of the Board having been submitted, it wa«
agree .^, on the motion of the Primus (Convener), *that the available balance on Unappro-
priatei Fund, 732/. 8«. id., should be placed to the credit of Ordinary Account for Kaflfraria.'
Th: Board for the current year was then constituted, the Primus being unanimously
re-appointed Convener. (See Official Lists.)
At this stage the Rev. Archdeacon Gibson, of Umtata, gave an interesting address on
the work and ffiiancial position of the Mission in Kaifraria.
It was further agreed to instruct the Foreign Mission Board in future, to send any supple-
mentary grants for Kaflfraria to the ELaffrarian Diocesan Mission Board.

of the disposable balance (647/. I2s. Sd.) were then agreed to.

place on record, in the strongest possible terms, its reprobation of the conduct of the Congre-

In consequence of a destructive fire at Trinity College, Glenalmond, by which the students
rooms were rendered uninhabitable, the Theological Classes were temporarily removed to
ICdinburgh in 1876. Next year, the Bishops determined to make that city the permanent
home of the Divinity course of instruction. But it was, and still is, their desire that the old
connection with Trinity College — which had subsisted since 1845— should be kept up, and that
the Edinburgh institution should be regarded as the Theological Department of Glenalmond.
There are at present in (he College 10 students, 6 of whom are graduates. The fees for
tuition are 12/. per annum, in addition to which residents in the Hall (Rosebery Crescent)
pay 1/. 5«. per week. Each session extends from October 25 to June 1, with a fortnight's
vacation at Christmas and Easter. A residence of two sessions is required from graduates,
of three sessions from non-graduates. In the case of non-graduates exhibiting special talent
and diligence two years may suffice. Students are now required to pass * the Oxford and
Cambridge Preliminary ' before receiving the Testamur of the College.

over two years), a Luscombe, of 22/., Jamieson, of 21/., and a Houblon Scholarship, 18/., a
Shand Bursary of about 16/., and a varying number of Panton Bursaries of 15/., carrying
with them also a remission of fees, are attached to the College. These latter are given only
to bom Scotsmen, or at least of Scotch parents.
II. TRAINING COLLEGE.
Dalry House, Edinburgh.
This institution was founded in 1850 for training masters ; in 1866 it was resolved to introduce
the training of mistresses for Church schools. Owing to the great decrease of male candidates
for some years past, the College confines itself to the training of mistresses.
The (Committee of Management have purchased Dairy House, to which additions have been
made. There is accommodation for 60 students. Practising schools have recently been built
for 300 children.
The College provides tuition, board and lodging, medical attendance, and washing. Each
pupU is charged an entrance fee of 12/., and 2/., as the cost of books and stationery. The course
of training extends over two years, of four sessions each.
There are 58 students now in the house.
There is a considerable debt on the buildings, which is being gradually diminished.

Society was founded in 1870 for purposes of devotion and the perfecting of the spiritual life,
and to aid the Clergy in propagating the faith, and that chiefly by the work of Chriatian
education, and the godly up-brin^ng of the voung ; but the Sisters do not limit themselves to

y. Community of St. Andrew of Sootland. — Founded in 1858 as a Penitentiary or
House of Mercy. TFcurden, The Rev. Chancellor Cazenove, D.D. Chaplainf The Bev. T. ].
BalL This institution has not only widely extended the field of its innuence, but has added
to its original plan a mission work, of constantly increasing extent, amongst the lowest poor,
in the closes and wynds of the worst districts of the Old Town of Edinburgh. Hundreds nave
passed through the Home since its establishment, and a very laixe number of them have
been restored to virtue, and to their friends. The whole work of the community depends
entirely on voluntary subscriptions.
Surrounding buildings having made the House unsuitable, another was purchased in 1884
at Joppa, about four miles from Edinburgh. The privacy and excellent arrangements of the
new Home, with its garden, are an unspeakable gain to the work of the Sisters. It already
contains 18 penitents, and was solemnly opened, with suitable prayers, by the late Bishop of
the Diocese, on October 15, 1 884. The mission work, though losing the Sisters' help, is pro-
spering with new organisation and aids, under the Mission Priest in charge, who is also
Chaplain of the Penitentiary.
YI. Home of Charity, 7 Johnion TerraoOi Edinburgh. — Mother House of the Order
of Holy Charity (^Socidoi Sanctm Caritat'ui). — Visitor, The Lord Bishop of the Diocese;
IVardtny Rev. C. Jupp, Aberlour ; Giaplairif Rev. J. Beale, Duns. — ^This Society was founded
in 1872 on the Feast of St. Benedict. The principal works which the Order and its associates
undertake are — a ward for aged and infirm women, a children's home for girls onl^, including
a school in which the children are educated, and a nursery for infants ; also a Seaside Home 10
miles from Edinburgh. The community have also a Church depdt under their charge for the
dissemination of Church literature, sacred pictures, and other aids to devotion ; and there is a
House guild, embracing those who, having been trained in the home, have left it for service,
oj other creditable position.
YII. The Home, Paton'i Lane, Dundee. — Founded in 1848, and partially endowed in
1861. The Home has had, on the whole, a career of progress, as well as of unquestionable
usefulness, in its penitentiary work. Inebriates are also received as boarders, payment being
according to social position, but all except first-class patients are required to do some work
for the institution. Needlework, washing and ironing, are done by tne other inmates, and a
portion of the income arises from this source. In May 1886 there were 31 persons in the house.
TVeoncrerv, Messrs. Nicholson and Marquis ; Superintendent, Mrs. Swanston.
ym. The Conyalescent Home, William Street, Dundee. — Lady Superintendent, Miss
A. F. Marshall. Established in 1860. — Over 2,000 female patients have passed through its
wards, and the benefits conferred by the House might be very much increased were the
necessary support forthcoming. Patients labouring under incurable and active disease are not
admitted, and those above 10 years of age are preferred.
IZ. The Baldovan Asylum, near Dundee, was founded in 1854, for the treatment and
education of imbecile and idiot children, without regard to sex or residence. A graduated scale
of charges has been fixed, and the age at admission, except in special oases, must be under 10.
The number of patients at the date of the last report was 48. Secretariu and TrtoMurert,

HUtoriographer of the Church. — The Bishop op Iowa, Davenport, Iowa.
A sufficient description of the organisation and methods of the American
Episcopal Church has heen given in previous issues of the Ybab Book, and the
present statement will be confined to what may be called its current history
and work.
Since the last statement was prepared several deaths have occurred among the
members of the Episcopate. The Right Bev. Henry Champlin Lay, D.D., LL.D.,
Bishop of Easton, died September 17, 1885, in the 62nd year of his age and the
26th of his Episcopate.
The Bight Bev. John Freeman Young, D.D., Bishop of Florida, died November 15,
1885, in the 66th year of his age and the 19th of his Episcopate. He is succeeded
by the Bight Bev. Edwin G. Weed.
The IBught Bev. Charles Franklin Bobertson, D.D., LL.D., Bishop of Missouri,
died May 1, 1886, in the 52nd year of his age and the 18th of his Episcopate. He
is succeeded by the Bight Bev. Dr. Tuttle, translated from Utah.
Other recent consecrations have been of the Bev. Dr. Paret, as Bishop of Mary-
land ; Off the Bev. Dr. Ferguson, a coloured presbyter, to the Missionary Jurisdiction
of Cape Palmas, on the West Coast of Africa; and of the Bev. Dr. Gilberti as
Coadjutor to Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota. Two presbyters have been elected, one
for Utah and Nevada, and the other for Wyoming and Idaho. The Bight Bev. Dr.
Whittaker, late Bishop of Nevada, has become Coadjutor to the Bishop of Fenn«
sylvania.
Several of the Dioceses have recently observed the centennials of their creation :
the Diocese of Connecticut (the Primal Diocese of the American Church), and the
Dioceses of Pennsylvania and New York.
Tlmre are now in this Church 49 Dioceses, and 15 Missionary Jurisdictions; 71
Bishops, and 3,689 other Clergy; 344 candidates for Holy Orders; 1,203 Lay-readers;
4,338 Churches and Chapels ; 2,072 Mission Stations ; 101 Academies ; 13 Colleges ;
16 Theological Schools : 52 Orphanages ; 39 Houses ; 54 Hospitals; 29 other institu-
tions, lliere are 422,649 communicants reported, and upwards of 1,260,000 baptised
members of the Church. The average of Confirmations in each of the last three
years has been nearly 20,000, and of Baptisms over 50,000. The increase in the
number of Communicants from 1868 to 1886 has been from nearly 200,000 to nearly
426/)00. The average offerings for Church purposes, of the last three years, are over
10,000,000 dollars a year.
During that period also there has been a marked increase in volume and efficiency
of the organised work of the Church, both parochial, diocesan, and general. The
CSiurch Temperance Society, the White Cross Society, and the Girls* Friendly Society,
with numerous brotherhoods and guilds, have grown in efficiency as recognised
agencies for bringing the spiritual power of the Church to bear on the community.
And much local mission work is being done among the Germans and Scandinavians,
who form a large and important element in our population.
THE GENEBAL CONVENTION OF 1886.
The General Convention met in October of this year in the city of Chicago,
having, until now, usually met in someone of the eastern cities.
The Bishops of Nova Scotia and Toronto, with the Dean of Montreal, the Pro-
locator of the Lower House, and Messrs. Stevenson and Beed, attended as a
deputation from the Provincial Synod of Canada.
4i8 (Episcopal @^urc^ of Jlmerica.
Among the subjects introduced was a proposed change in the corporate title of
this Church, which, after considerable discussion in the House of Deputies, was
negatived. No specific proposal of another name than ' Protestant Episcopal Chorch '
was made, the question being on the disuse of that as a designation of this branch
of the Church Catholic.
A large number of memorials were presented, praying the Convention to take
such action as would tend to promote tlie reunion of Christians in this land. As a
result of very careful consideration, the House of JJishops communicated to tlie
other House the following declaration, viz. : —
Whereas, In tlie year 1853, in response to a Memorial signed by many Presbyters of this
Church, praying that steps might be taken to heal the unhappy divisions of Christendom, and
to more nilly develop the catholic idea of the Church of Christ, the Bishops of this Church in
Council assembled did appoint a Commission of Bishops empowered to confer with the several
Christian bodies in our land who were desirous of promoting godly union and concord among
all who loved the Lord Jcsns Christ iu sincerity and truth ; and
Whereasy Tliis Commission, in conformity with the terms of its appointment, did formally
set forth and advocate sundry suggestions and recommendations intended to accomplish the
great end in view ; and
WhereoMy In the year 1880, the Bishops of the American Church, assembled in Council,
moved by the appeals from Christians in foreign countries who were struggling to free
themselves from the usurpations of the Bishop of Rome, set forth a declaration to the effect
that in virtue of the solidarity of the Catholic Episcopate in which we have part, it was the
right and duty of the Episcopates of all national Churches holding the primitive faith and
order, and of the several Bishops of the same, to protect, in the holding or that faith an^ the
recovering of that order, those who have been wrongfully deprived of both, and this without
demanding a rigid uniformity or the sacrifice of their national traditions of worship and
discipline or of their rightful autonomy : and
W/iereaSf Many of the faithful in dirist Jesus among us arc praying with renewed and
increasing earnestness that some measures may be adopted at this time for the reunion of the
sundered parts of Christendom :
Now, therefore, in pursuance of the action taken in 1853 for the healing of the divisions
among Christians in our own land, and in 1880 for the protection and encouragement of those
who had withdrawn from the Roman Obedience : we, Bishops of the Prot^tant Episcopal
Church in the United States of America in Council assembled as Bishops of the Church of
God, do hereby solemnly declare to all whom it may concern, and especiallv to our fellow
Christians of the different communions in this land, who, in their severa!! sphere^ have
contended for the religion of Christ :
(1) Our earnest desire that the Saviour's prayer Mhat we all may be one' may, in its
deepest and truest sense, be speedily fulfilled :
\2) That we believe that all who have been duly baptized with water in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, are members of the Holy Catholic Church :
(3^ That in all things of human ordering or human choice relating to modes of worship
and discipline, or to traditional customs, this Church is ready in the spirit of love and humility
to forego all preferences of her own :
(4) That this Church does not seek to absorb other communions, but rather, co-operating
with them on the basis of a common faith and order, to discountenance schism, to heal the
wounds of the Body of Christ, and to promote the charity which is the chief of Christian graces
tnd the visible manifestation of Christ to the world.
Bvt, Jurtherfitore, we do hereby atlirm that the Christian unity now so earnestly desirsd by
the memorialists can be restored only bv the return of all (!hristian coaimunions to the
principled of unity exemplified bv the undivided Catholic Church during the first ages of its
existence ; which principles we believe to be the substantial deposit of Christian faith and
order committed by«Christ and His Apostles to the Church unto the end of the world, and
therefore incapable of compromise or surrender b}- those who have been ordained to be its
stewards and trustees for the common and equal benefit of all men.
As inherent parts of this sacred deposit, and, therefore, as essential to the restoration of
unity among the divided branches of Christendom, we account the following, to wit :
(1.) The Holy {Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as the Revealed Word of God :
(II.) The Nicenc Creed as the suflicient statement of the Christian faith :
(III.) The two Sacraments — Baptism and the Supper of the Lord— ministered with
unfailing use of Christ's words of institution, and of the elements ordained bv Him :
(IV.) The historic Episcopate locally adapted in the methods of its administration to the
varying needs of the nations and peoples called of God into the unity of His Church.
Furthermore : Deeply grieved by the sad divisions which afilict the Christian Church in
our own land, we hereby declare our desire and readiness, so soon as there shall be any
authorised response to this declaration, to enter into brotherly conference with all or any
^)>tsco)>al §^uxc^ of Jimerica. 4^9
Christian bodies seeking the restoration of the organic unity of the Church, with a view to
the earnest study of the conditions under which so priceless a blessing might happily be
brought to pass.
As a practical measure, looking to the promotion of Christian unity, the Con-
vention constituted a Commission of Bishops, Presbyters, and laymen, authorised to
confer with any and all Christian people similarly moved to desire its promotion.
One of the most notable features of this Convention was the great awakening of
the Church to the duty of giving large care to the spiritual advancement of the
coloured race, numbering over six millions, throughout the land, and especially in
the Southern States. Order was taken for the appointment of a Special Commission
to take charge of this great work, which shall have its headquarters at the city
of Washington, the national capital.
A farther point of interest to the readers of the Year Book was the spiritual
care of immigrants from Europe, and especially of English, Scotch, and Irish Church
families. These families come in great numbers, and the majority of them bring
letters of commendation from their home Clergy, and very many are lost to the
Church. A Joint Committee, of which the Bishop of Northern New Jersey is the
Secretary, was appointed to devise and carry out measures to secure their
proper care.
The subject of marriage and divorce received the careful oonaideration of the
House of Bishops, and a Canon proposed by that House will be under consideration
during the next three years, with a view to its adoption by the next Oeneral
Convention.
The House of Bishops communicated to the House of Deputies the following
Declaration on the subject of Communion wine, viz. : —
* That in the judgment of the House of Bishops, the use of the nnfermented
juice of the grape as the lawful and proper wine of the Holy Eucharist is
unwarranted by the example of our Lord, and an unauthorised departure from
tlie custom of the Catholic Church.
'That the mixture of water with the Eucharistic wine is lawful, and in con-
formity with the usages of the Catholic Church, and that there is no objection to
the use of the mixed cup, provided the mingling be not ritually introduced until
it be authorised by the rubric*
CHAHGE8 m THE PSATEB-BOOX.
The most important proceedings of the Convention, however, were on the
subject of Prayer-book Revision. The recommendations of the preceding Con-
vention having been sent down to the several Dioceses, and having thus been
under the consideration of the Church for the intervening three years, were taken
up by this Convention for final action. Many of them were adopted, and are now
the law of this Church. Others of them were laid over for three years* further
consideration.
The following alterations have been adopted, viz. : —
Introductory. — Table of Contents amended to correspond with the contents of Prayer-book
as amended.
Insertion of the Feast of the Transfiguration for August 6.
The new Table of Lessons.
The following paragraph inserted after first paragraph of Rules to know when the Movable

A large proportion of the time and attention of the General Convention was
devoted to the Missionary work of the Church. Indeed the Convention is the Board
of Missions, acting through a small elected Board of Managers in the three jears'
period between the meetings of the Convention. The Missionary Bishops made
their statements of work and of needs in their respective fields of labour, and nothing
aroused a deeper and more popular interest than these reports. Of course, very
much has been done by individuals, parishes, and dioceses in the way of Missionary
work, which finds no place in Annual Tables of Statistics, and it is safe to say that
the reports of the Boivd of Managers do not ordinarily represent more than one-third
of the Missionary offerings of the Church. The following statements, however,
show what has been given into the treasury of the Board, and, in general, what has
been done with it. The first statement has reference to what are called Domestic
Missions, i.e. Missions within the territory of the United States.

THE WOMAN'S AUXIUABT
Is one of the most noteworthy of the Missionary agencies of the American Church.
It was established fifteen years ago, with the object of organising the efforts of
Christian women for the support of Missions at home and abroad. It now has nearly
fifty branches in the several dioceses and missionary jurisdictions. Its aid is ren-
dered partly in money contributions, but mainly in providing necessaries and com-
forts for the actual labourers in the missionary field. The following statement shows
its work for a single year, viz. : —
Cash oontributions $ 75,568*13
Boxes of clothing, material, &c. (1995) . . . 127,294-22
Total . . . 202,862-35
This Cliurch has reason for gratitude in the work of its women— not only in the way
i$piscopci ^f)nvcf) of Jlmcrica. 427
of direct oontributions, but in their general influence in keeping alive a warm interest
in missionary work in the hearts of all Chorchpeople, and in diffusing that know-
ledge which leads to abundant almsgiving and prayer.
mSXICAH MI8&I0H WOKK.
Thebe is one painful subject that must find its place in this record of the experiences
of the Church in America. The Ck)mmission of Bishops who have for some years
been responsible for the care and supervision of the Church of Jesus in Mexico, have
received and accepted^ the resignation by the Right Bev. Dr. Riley, of his jurisdiction
in that Church, and *his formal retirement from the field. They have deemed it
necessary to publicly withdraw all previous expressions of confidence in his adminis-
tration. But they do, notwithstanding, commend the missionary work in Mexico to
the interest and support of this Church, recognising the ' Cuerpo Ecclesiastico * as
the true representative and governing Body of the Church in the Valley of Mexico,
and regarding the members of the Church of Jesus, daring the abeyance of its
autonomy and in the absence of any episcopal authority, as a mission under the fos-
tering care of this Church. A clergyman is to be sent out as the representative, for
the present, of this Church, in the hope that a normal condition of tblQgs will
presently result, and the important and interesting Reformation work there begun
will grow and prosper, so that a proper organisation of the Church may, after a Ume,
be effected.

CHAPTER IX.
CLERGY PENSIONS, ENDOWMENT FUNDS, AND CLERGY CHARITIES.
SECTION I.^OLERGY PENSIONS AND ENDOWMENTS.
The scheme now inaugurated for facilitating Clergy Pensions has hecn
making steady progress dnriDg the past year ; it formed the snhjcct of
discussion at several Diocesan Conferences, as, for instance, Llaudaff and
Lichfield, where its principles and methods of working were heartily
endorsed. The following summary of the precise ohject of this institution
has been furnished by the honorary secretary, the Bov. C. J. Robinson,
Rector of West Hackney. The Rev. G. H. Clay has again very kindly
superintended the. revision of the summaries given of the several Clergy
GhiArities. Any omission . reported to the Editor will be in due course
supplied.
CLERGY PENSIONS.
The necessity of providing for the clergy whom age or iofirmity has disabled is a
necessity of modem growth, and is largely a result of that revival of religious life and
parochial activity which the past half-century has witnessed. The great increase of
work has made repose in old age a boon which the worn-out clergy may well expect
the Church to provide, while the need of incessant work grows with the growing
wants of the age, and deniands a frequent renewal of ministerial energy. It is
important also that means should be devised other than the multiplication of small
benefices for accelerating the promotion of the younger clergy. These were the
considerations which led to a public Conference on the subject being held in January
1885, when a Committee was formed for devising some practical scheme for dealing
with the matter. After much discussion and patient labour, the outlines of a plan
were laid down and accepted at a second Conference held in the month of July,
and at the same time the Sub-Committee was requested to continue its labours,
and take such steps as it might think necessary to give effect to the accepted
principles.
The final result was the introduction to the Church Congress (and thus to the
general public) of the Clbboy Pensions Institution, having for its object the pro-
viding facilities for the acquisition of annuities and pensions by the parochial clergy of
the Church of England. The essential feature of the Institution is that of self-help on
the part of the clergy, aid^ by help &om the Church at large. By the payment of
an annual subscription, graduated aooording to age, a clergyman may secure for
himself, as a matter of right and absolute certainty under all circumstances, a de-
ferred annuity of a definite amount ; and, in addition, he will have a clBim, on being
or becoming unbeneficedi to a proportionate share in the general fund derived from
^Icrgp 'pensions anb ^nbommettls. 429
such extraneous sources as donations, offertories, legacies, &c. &c. The amount of
the latter annuity will, of course, be dependent upon the resources available for the
purpose and the number of participators in them, but there is every reason to believe
that these will be considerable, and it is in the power of every subscriber to enlarge
them. The normal age for retirement has been fixed at 65, but it is not meant to
draw any hard and fast line at that particular point. If permanent disablement
should happen to a subscriber at 50, he will receive the lesser annuity belonging to
that age, together with a proportionate pension ; if, on the other hand, he should
retain his benefice until 70 and then retire, he would receive the larger annuity
belonging to that age, together with the pension due at 65. The annuity, i.e, the
amount actually paid for by the subscriber, may at any time be commuted for a
lump sum, and, again, the annual pajnnents maj be similarly treated or made half-
yearly or quarterly. In the event of death occurring before 65, the premiums are
returnable.
At the foundiog of the Institution specially favourable terms are off ered, enabling
clergymen under 40 to enter at a yearly payment of 21. 28., and clergymen above
that age and under 64 at payments varying from three to seven guineas a year. In
return each subscriber is guaranteed the precise annuity which his subscription
would purchase according to the Government tables, together with a uniform
pension out of the funds derived from extraneous sources. These privileges will
necessarily be restricted to original members, those entering at a later date (unless
below 26) will have to pay in excess of the above viinimum. Fuller particulars,
together with forms of application for membership, can be obtained from Messrs.
Crowther and Goodman, publishers, 133 Fenchurch Street, B.C. ; or of the Honorary
{Secretary, Rev. Charles J. Robinson, Arundel House, Thames Embankment, W.G.
IKCTTMBEHTS' SITSTEVTATIOK FITin).
This Fund, as is generally known, was originated by the Marquis of Lome in
1873, and its object is to raise the income of every Benefice in England and Wales
to a minimum of 200/. a year, either by (a) permanent endowment, or (ft) annual
grar.t.
bince the establishment of the Fund in 1873 it has contributed 28,7511. towards
the permanent augmentation of 95 Benefices, in addition to voting annual grants
to Incumbents unable to fill the conditions necessary in order to secure aid
towards permanently augmenting their Benefices. The number so aided in 1885
was 29.
The Fund is now affiliated to the Additional Curates Society.
The Council earnestly appeal for contributions to enable them to carry on a worl^
more than ever necessary in these days of depression of glebe.

CTTBATES* AUOXSITTATION FUFD.
The work of this Fund has been described in previous issues of the Yeab-Book.
Its object is to provide increased stipends for Curates who have served without
reproach for not less than 15 years, and thus to make it possible for them to calcu-
late on obtaining in middle life a professional income sufficient to enable them to
exercise their ministry without being harassed by pecuniary anxiety, or driven lo
Feek the aid of charitable institutions to obtain the necessaries of life. It should,
perhaps, be added that the number of Curates is so much in excess of the benefices
to which they can be promoted, that a constantly increasing number have to wait
20 or 30 years before they obtain preferment, whilst many must remain Curates all
their lives. There are at present in active work as Curates, 1,060 men whose length
of service exceeds 15 years.
For the year 1885-86 grants to a considerable amount were voted, and it is hoped
that maby applications which have had to stand over may soon receive considenktio^.
430
9^dt2 ^^ctviiics.
The applicants are men of about 50 years of age, their average length of service being
21 years ; who, though still engaged in active work for the Church, are receiving a
professional income little in excess of the youngest Curate, namely — from 1002^ to
130/. a year.
All communicatiODs Bbonld be made to the Rev. H. Flemiug, 2 Dean's
Yard, Westminster.
SECTION IL—OLERQY CHARITIES,
An effort has been made, throngb the kindness of the Rev. G. H. Clay,
Rector of Aston, to present a Report npon the existence and working
of Clergy Charities both general and Diocesan, which it is hoped is now
fairly complete. The list of Diocesan Charities is confined to tnose which
deal with grants of money, and does not inclade a large number which
provide homes for clergy widows and places of education for clergymen's
children.

THE WORK OF THE CHURCH IN GUIDING THE MORAL
AND SOCIAL LIFE OF YOUNG MEN, AND IN PRO-
MOTING HEALTHFUL RECREATION.
Circumstances prevent ns dealing wiih this work at present as Fnllj as its
importanoe deserves. In the xbab-Book for 1886 we famished a list of
cloDs and institutes, reading rooms, &c., with a view to show to some
extent what the Ghnroh of England has been doing to provide a means
for elevating the social and intGllectnal life of young men. The Bubject
will be dealt with more completely at some future time.
LONDON DIOCESAN COUNCIL FOR THE WELFARE OF
YOUNG MEN.
(Appointed by the Bishop of London in parsuance of a resolation of the London
Diocesan Gonferenoe of 1884.)
The objects of the Council are —
1. To promote the formation and development of local Institutions for Young

CHURCH OF ENGLAND YOUNG MEN'S SOCIETY.
This Sodetj was established in 1843 to promote the welfare of young men spiritu*
ally, socially, and intellectually, with especial view to their consistent life as members
of the Chon^ of England, and their active personal labours for the good of others.
The Society has Branches in Bermondsey, Bethnal Qreen, Bloomsbury, Camden
Town, Clapham, Chelsea, Holloway, Islington, Maida Hill, Poplar, South Lambeth,
Victoria Park, Westminster, Belfast, Bath, Birmingham, Burton-on-Trent, Cambridge,
Cobham, Croydon, Dawley Magna, Felling, Falmouth, Huntingdon, King's Lynn,
Norwich, Oxford, Sherborne, Southsea, Winchester.
The Central Lostitution (The Leopold Rooms), 3 St. Bride Street, Ludgate Circus,
E.C., is a memorial to the late Duke of Albany. It consists of reading, writing, and
class-rooms and stndies ; library (circulating and reference), containing 4,000 vols. ;
lecture hall, seating about 200 persons ; committee rooms, gymnasium, bath room,
lavatories, cdub and amusement rooms, and restaurant, where dinners and teas are
provided at moderate prices.
In addition, a number of bedrooms have been comfortably furnished for accommo-
dating a few resident members, and especially with a view to provide a respectable
place to which Clergymen can recommend young men coming up to London.
Bible, educational, and other classes are held. Entertainments, concerts, lectures,
ScCf are given, and Advent, Lent, and other special courses of Sermona to young men
are ansnged ; while athletic, cricket, swimming, football and other clubs provide for
the physical well-being of the members.
A similar work is being carried on in the different branches.
In the Central Society the members consist chiefly of clerks in banks, warehouses,
and ofBces in the city ; but in the branches, though a very large proportion are clerks,
the class of members depends considerably upon the locality in which they may be
situated.
Each branch has control of its own funds and management, and has representa-
tives on the General Council of the whole Society.

CHAPTER XI.
CHURCH DEFENCE, DILLS DEFORE PARLIAM^XT, LEGAL
DECISIONS,
SECTION L—GKUBGH DEFENOE.
Thouqh for the present the movement for the Disestablishment and
Disendowment of the Church has received a check, there can be no doubt
that the agitation will be sooner or later revived with a vigour which will
have to be met with increased earnestness and intelligence on the part of
those who are convinced that such a measure would not only be an act
of injustice but a serious injury to the moral and religious life of the
people. One of the conclusions to be drawn from the shape which the
controversy has alxvaadj assumed, is that the defence of the National
Church is a cause very dear to -the heart of Englishmen, irrefipective of
the political party to which they may belong. It is often said, ancl with
some truth, that the datagei^ is midt^ likely to arise from within than from
without, and there is no doubt that there are many points connected with
Church administration which call for careful revision. If certain CkuWsh
reforms, as to the principle of which most Churchmen are ag)reed; cilb be
prudently and speedily eiEected, the reasons for Disestablishment will have
less and less weight in the minds of the people whose animosities are to
be excited against the Church.
There is, however, another work, as needful as Church reform, to be
found in active endeavours to instruct the people as to what the position
of the Church really is with regard to her history, possessions, work and
influence. The importance of this duty is being fully recognised, and
the necessary organisation for distributing information and providing
lectures throughout the towns and villages of the country is rapidly
being developed.
CHURCH DEFENCE INSTITUTION.
The title of this Institution defines the nature of the work it is designed to carry
out, and which it has pursued during the last year with increased vigilance and
success.
Xethodi of Working. — It is chiefly by its stafE of lecturers that this Institution
seeks to fulfil the intention for which it exists ; it is tlierefore satisfactory to state
that during the past year there has been a considerable increase in the number of
personal visits to towns and villages throughout the country. This has resulted not
only in a very wide distribution of information upon Church matters, but in the
direct formation of 136 new branches which represent so many new centres of Church
Defence.
Not less than 1,180 lectures were delivered during the year 1885. The distribution
^I^uirc^ 'pefence ^hsiiluiion. 447
of pamphlets and leaflets has also proved of immense use, and more than 3,000,000
were so distributed in the same period. It may be mentioned that 40,000
copies of the Bishop of Peterborough's speech and 12,000 oopies of Mr. Bosworth
Smith's letter to the Tinies were circulat<Kl. Of all the remarkable expressions of
thought upon tliis subject none lias exercised greater influence in the formation of
a righteous opinion than the manifesto of the Liberal Peers, which was the outcome
of a correspondence between Earl Grey and Lord Egerton of Tatton, Chairman of
the Committee of the Institution.
The progress of the work has been marked by the appointment of two assistant
organising secretaries for the western and midland districts, whilst three working men
have also been engaged to lecture and distribute literature.
Funds. — The receipts of the Society from all sources for the year 1885 amounted
to 12,911/. 111. 3d,, showing an increase of at least 8,000/., an indication of the feeling
prevalent with regard to the importance of the work.
The year 1886 has not been quite so busy a one as its predecessor — mainly, no
doubt, on account of the lull which followed the repulse of the Liberationist attack
in the autumn of 1886, but it has been marked by much solid and useful work in
organisation and buMing«up, the fruit of which wiU hereafter appear. Signs are
not wanting that the next attack will be upon the Church in Wales, and it is fondly
hoped that English Churchmen may be prepared to sacrifice the four Welsh Dioceses.
The tithe agitation has been fostered with this view, and a ceosus of religious
worship^ promoted by a Nonconformist newspaper, was recently undertaken ( Januiuy
11, 1887)^ for the same end. Inasmuch, however, as this census only served to show
the Church far stronger and more popular than had been too hastily assumed by her
enemies, the result hBa been the exact opposite of that which was anticipated, and
Churchmen are greatly encouraged in their work of preserving and strengthening their
ancient heritage. There is, of course, not the slightest fear that their English
breilD«n will <k«iert th^n,^ th^ir hour of need,rit b^ing -universally accepted that —
in Mr. Gladstone's words — * there is a complete ecclesiaistical, constitutional, legal, and,
for every practical purpose, historical, identity between the Church in Wales and the
rest of the Church in England.' .

success, the illustrated lectures proving immensely popular.

THE OXFORD LAYMEN'S CHURCH DEFENCE LEAGUE.
This League for the defence of the National Church was formed in All Souls' College,
on February 10, 1886, and the following resolutions which were then passed fully
explain its objects : (1) That the Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Church
of England would be, under present circumstances, a great blow to the cause of
religion in this country. (2) That it is, therefore, advisable to organise a movement
among Oxford men to oppose the same. (3) That the movement be lay, voluntary^
and open to men of all parties, political and religious. (4) That tkiVa xEiON^\iv!&\^ \^
styled • The Oxford Laymen's League for the Defence ol tYie '^aXioniV CViox^Yi^
448 @. ^. ^otkittQ Wren's g^odefg.
General Principlei. — The League is designed to unite religious laity throughout
the country, without reference to sects or parties. The more completely the question
can be severed from personal motives, class prejudices, pai-ty politics, or sectarian
interests, by ao much the more impregnable does the position of the Church become.
General Work. — The League will carry on its work by using every opportunity
by spreading true views as to tlie position of the Church of England ; pamphlets will
be circulated and lectures given ; literature and lecture committees have already been
formed and branches of the League established; the hope is that Oxford men
throughout the country will bs induced to join the movement.
The Warden of All Souls* College is President, and the President of Magdalen
College, Vice-president.
Communications should be made to B. Henslej Henson, Esq., Hon.
Secretary, All Souls' College, Oxford.
SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE.
This Society, in the hope of assisting the Clergy in their endeavour to instruct the
people upon the history of the Church, has made arrangements for granting the loan
of magic-lantern slides upon conditions the terms of which may be obtained by
application to the Secretaries. The extreme value and usefulness of this provision
has already been proved by the large number of applications the Society has
received.
CHURCH OF ENGLAND WORKING MEN'S SOCIETY.
Thb Church of England Working Men's Society is the only organisation existing
in this country founded with the distinct and definite purpose of setting before
members of its own class the faith of Jesus Christ, taught by the Church of England,
and exhibited by her in the Book of Common Prayer, and for the preservation of the
doctrine, discipline, and usages of the Church upon the basis of that Book.
The Society consists entirely of band fide working men communicants as members,
who pay the small sum of 1«. per annum subscription, and these alone have a voice
in the management of the work and funds of the Society. Others, not strictly work-
ing men in the ordinary sense of the word, are gladly welcomed, and pay a subscrip-
tion of not less than 6«. per annum ; ladies may also become honorary members.
Working men who are not yet communicants are admitted as associates, and pay the
same smracription as members, but neither they nor the honorary members take any
part in the business arrangements of the Society beyond being present at the meet-
ings, although there are many ways in which they can greatly assist in its work.
It is admitted on all hands that, in spite of the efforts which have been made by
the Clergy and others to bring home the truths of the Gospel to the working classes,
the result has not been wholly satisfactory; and it is alleged by many that one
great cause lies in the suspicion, unfounded indeed, but nevertheless existing, that
religion is a mere matter of trade with the * parsons : * hence it was thought that if
missionary work was ever to touch a class otherwise almost inaccessible, it must be
through the efforts of working men themselves, acting, unostentatiously, as mission-
aries to their fellow- workmen. They can often by a timely remark set right mis-
apprehensions, or contradict false assertions such as one constantly hears in our
workshops and factories, and disseminated with such unscrupulous zeal and audacity
by iMibelievers and initbelieyers, about Christianity and the Church.
Many of its branches have undertaken mission work in their respective parishes,
nnder the sanction of the Clergy, and in some places out-door services have been held
with marked success.

SECTION II.— PARLIAMENTARY AND LEGAL DECISIONS.
BILLS BEFORE PARLIAMENT.
The following abstract of Bills submitted to Parliament daring the
Session 1885-6 will be read with interest /and has been snpplied by the
Hev. H. G. Dickson, of the Church Defence Institution.
The cl:ief provisions of the Bills and Resolutions before the last Par-
liament (1885-6) were as follows : —
Burial Oronnds Bill. — Brought in by Mr. Osborne Morgan, Mr. Childers, Mr. Henrr
Fowler, and Mr. Broadhurst. It proposed that in future no boundary-marks should be placed
between the consecrated and unconsecrated portions of a public burial -grouod. The local
sanitary auUiority was to certify to the fitness of the ^und for burial purposes before it was
use«l as a cemete^. Any cemetery, or part thereof, might be consecrated, but no fees were to
\te paid on suoh account. Buildings for religious services in cemeteries, whether eonteerated or
not, were to be available for all persons and all 8er\'ices. The incumbent of the parish in which
the cemetery is situated was, upon notice being served on him, to be obliged to perform the
funeral tervioe at any burial. Section 1 of the Burial Act of 1880 was to have effont as if
the word * twenty-four* were substituted for * forty-ei^ht,' and Section 8 as if the word * twelve '
were mbstituted for the word * twenty-four.' The Bill was read a second time on May 8, but
WAS ultimately abandoned.
Chnreh Aoards Bill.— This Bill, introduced by Mr. Albert Grey, Mr. Stafford Howard,
Sir John Lubbock, Mr. Mclver, Mr. Houldsworth, Sir U. Kay-Shuttleworth, and Mr. Gerald
Balfour, propo8ed---(n To give parishioners power to elect a representative board which
shall declare their wishes in matters relating to their parish church \ {%) to vest in such
board power to regulate, within the requirements laid down by law, and subject t» the approval
of the bishop, the manner of conducting the services, the arrangements for the lighting,
decoration, and furnishing of the church, and the management of certain other matters of
^K^esiastical interest ; (3) to vest in such board power to provide, subject to the approval
of the bishop, for the delivery of occasional sermons or lectures by persons not in holy orders
of the Church of England ; (4) to vest in such board power to veto, subject to the approval ot
the bishop, the institution to the benefice of the presentee nominated by the patron ; (5)
to require the incumbent to carr^ into effect all legal decisions of the board, subject to
an appeal to the bishop of the diocese, and to his veto thei^upon ; ^6) to ^ve the bishop
power, where he approves the action of the Church Board, to meet tne contmued resistance
of the incumbent to the wishes of the parish with suspension, and ultimately with deprivation ;
(7) to suspend the Public Worship Kegulation Act, 1874, in all parishes where Uiis Bill is
adopted and is in force. Dropped,
Chureh Patronage Bill. — This Bill, brought forwartl by Mr. Rylands, Mr. Leatham,
Mr. Henry Fowler, and Mr. Brinton, abolished the sale of next presentations, resignation
bonds, donatives, and mortmain licences. It ^ave a patron power to sell an advowson to the
Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty, and provided that the price to be paid should be a charge
upon the benefice, after the next avoidance. The total amount was to be paid by yearly
instalments, not less than thirty in all, and in no case was the total amount paid for the
advowson to exceed five times the net annual value of the benefice. Any patronage caused
by avoidance of the benefice whilst the advowson is in the hands of Queen Anne's Bounty wait
to be exercised by the ordinary and the churchwardens. The Bill was fixed for Committee on
May 12, when the debate was adjourned, and the Bill was ultimately dropped. Mr. Pitt Lewis
gave notice of the following amendment :-—* That it be an instruction to the Committee to
reserve to the persons interested in the ministrations of the parish church a limited and reason-
able iwwer of veto upon any presentation, whether made by a public or private patron.*
Church Patronage Bill. — The Archbishop of Canterbury presented this Bill to the House
of lx>rds. Its object was officially stated as beinpr * to amend the law of Church Patronaf;:e
and the law as to the Avoidance of Benefice^.' It proposed to constitute in each diocese a
* Council of Public Patronage.* The Council is to consist of the Bishop, the Archdeacon, an
elected beneficed Clergyman, and a representative of the Chapter ; together with n layman
elected by the churchwardens of each archdeaconry, and other laymen elected by the Lords
Lieutenaut and the Chairman of Quarter Sessions. Upon a benefice in the gift of the Council
falling vacant, the presentation shall be performed by a special committee which the Bill pro-
poses to constitute. Patrons of livings may sell the aivowsons in their possessu\iN. \a «k

* qualified parishioner/ /.e. a person of certain rateable qualification within the parish, or to
the * Council of Public Patronaee.' The sale of advowsons, except as prescribed, and c^ next
presentations, is to be made illegal. Sales of patronage arc not to be allowed to any person
who makes a business of the sale, nor unless he declares that he is not purchasing formoney'n
worth, nor in respect of any ulterior agreement. Registration of transfers is to be made ini-
pcrative. On presenting to a benefice the patron must declare that he has not become posscj»eil
of his patronage by means prohibited by the BilL The Bishop may require from the presentee,
before institution, satisfactory letters testimonial, and a declaration as to all appointments
ecclesiastical held by the presentee since his ordination. The Bishop may refuse to institute,
if the presentee be over seventy years of age, or under three years m priest's orders, and for
other clearly defined reasons. No institution, &c., shall be made without a month*8 publishni
notice in the parish concerned. The Bill contains voluminous miscellaneous provisions and
definitions, which must all be well studied before its general scope and eflfect can be dearly
ascertained; The Bill was referred to a Select Committ^.
Cliarcb. Sites (Compuliory Poweri Repeal) Bill. — Introduced by Mr. Francis S.
Powell, Mr. John Talbot, and Mr. Addison. This Bill aimed at repealing those provisions of
the Church Building Acts which provide for the compulsory pure base of land for Church tiles.
Glebe Lands Bill. — Prepared and brought in by Sir Richard Cross, Sir Richard Webster,
and Mr. Gregorv. Tlie purpose of this Bill is to facilitate the sale of glebe lauds with the
object of applying them as allotments for the labouring classes. The incumbent, having
obtained the consent of the patron and of the archdeacon, may apply to the Land Commis-
sioners to sell his glebe, exclusive of the parsonage-house, garden, &c The Commissioner^*,
having eflfocted a sale, shall invest the purchase-money (less costs) in the names of the incumbent
and the churchwardens, who shall in their own ])er8ons constitute a body of * Endowment
Trustees.' The securities representing such investment shall be held by the said trustees,
and the dividends due thereupon shall be paid to the incumbent The Land Commissioners,
being applied to by an incumbent to sell his glebe, shall ofl^er it for sale in small ]iarcela, by
public auction or private contract, or they may sell it to the guardians of the union in which
the land is situated. In the latter case such purchase shall l^ only for the purpose of letting
the land for allotments to cottagers and labourers, and it shall not be made without the consent
of- the inhabitants in vestrv assembled. The purchase-money and other expenses of the
guardians may be paid out of their common fund, or borrowed by them from the Public Works
Loan Commissioners ; but anv liabilities incurred by them, for principal or interest, must be
charged to the parish in which the purchase is made. Dropped,
Land Tenure and Transfer Bill—Prepared and brought in by Mr. Ince, Mr. Courtney
and Mr. Stanhope Kenny. This Bill aimed, in eflfect, at an extension of the Settled Land Act
of the late I/)rd Cairns ; it was divided into four parts, one of which (Part III.) related to
Church property. It provided that * an incumbent shall, in respect to land belonging to hii
benefice, have the powers of a tenant for life under the Settled Land Act, 1882, as if he were
a tenant for life of such land as defined in that Act, and as if such land were the subject of a
settlement, and the provisions of the Settled Land Act, 1882, referring to a tenant for life,
either as conferring powers on him or otherwise, and to settled land, shall extend to an
incumbent and to the land belonging to a benefice.
The incumbent and the patron of the benefice shall for the purposes of the Settled Land
Act, 1882, and of this Act, be deemed <' trustees of the settlement" with reference to the land
belonging to the benefice. Provided that, in case an incumbent is also patron of a benefice,
then the incumbent and the archdeacon shall, for the purposes of the Settled Land Act, 1882,
and this Act, be deemed '^trustees of the settlement" so long as the incumbent continues to
be patron.'
When there are two or more patrons, capital money may be paid to and invested in the
names of the incumbent and such one of the p>atrons as the patrons shall appoint ; and in case
the patrons shall, for one month, neglect or refuse to declare to which of them capital money
shall be paid, the incumbent mav, by registered letter addressed to any one patron, select one
of such patrons, to whom, together vrith himself, capital monev may be paid.
The Bill does not authorise any sale, mortgage, lease, or other dealing with any church, or
site, or with any churchyard, or tithe rent-chaige, or an}' right of patronage, or the incumbent's
house of residence or garden, Ac.
Where there is on a benefice timber ripe and fit for cutting, the incumbent may cut and
sell it.
Half the proceeds shall be set aside as capital, and the other half be considered rent and
profit. Dropped,
Xarriages ^Attendance of Begiitran) BilL— This is described as * A Bill to amend
the Law respecting the Attendance of Registrars at Nonconformist Marriages.' It was intro-
duced by Sir Richard Webster, Sir Richard Cross, Mr. Stuart Wortley, and Mr. Bag^g^lay.
The law relating to the solemnisation of marriages in registered buildings is at present
^iUs before '^axliament 45 »
governed bj the Acts passed in the years 1830 and 1856, by which it is, among other things,
prorided that marriages could be solemnised in registered places of worship, provided that the
ceremony takes place in the presence of the district registrar of marriages, and certain words
are required to be used by the parties to such marriage in the ccmrse of the ceremony in the
presence of the registrar. It is proposed by this Bill to dispense with the compulsory presence
of registrars at such marriagei^, and to require only the presence of the registered minister of
any building licensed for the solemnisation of marriages. The registered minister must be thQ
regular officiating minister of the building in question, and must be certified to the RegiEtrar-
General. Special provisions are inserted to provide for the due solemnisation and registration
of such marriages, and the reduction of the fees payable by the parties to such marriages.
Within forty-eight hours of the marriage ceremony the minister must send to the superin-
tendent-registrar a form of return or certificate. The adjourned debate on the second reading
was fixed for June 22, but the Bill had to be dropped,
Xarriage with a Beceaied Wife's Sister Bill.— This Bill stood for second reading
in the House of Lords on May 24, in the name of the Duke of St. Alban*s. It was opposed by
the Duke of Argyll, and rejected by a majority of 22.
Karriage with a Beeeased Wife's Sister Bill. — This Bill stood for second reading
on June 30, in the name of Mr. Heueage. Its provisions were substantially tlie same as in
previous years with which Churchmen have long ago become familiar. Dropped,
Xarriages Validity Bill. — ^This Bill originated in the Upper House, and had for its
object the removal of doubts as to the legality of certain marriages in which one of the parties
was resident in Scotland at the time of publication of the baous in Eugland. Received Royal
Assent March 29.
Xarriages (Hours of Solemnisation) Bill. — Provi^ilon is made by this Bill for extending
the hours for marriages to three o*clock in the afternoon. It originally proposed four o'clock
as the limiting hour, but an amendment making it three o'clock was carried by the House of
Lords and subsequently agreed to by the Commons. The measure passed botli Houses and
received the Royal Assent May 10.
Xarriages (Konconformist Chapels) Bill. — This Bill was introduced by Mr. Walter
Shiriey. Its obiecl is stated to be * to amend the laws relating to Marriages in Nonconformist
Chapels.' The Bill was put down for second reading on July 28, but that date was not reached
by the Parliament, and the Bill, therefore, became dropped.
Oaths Bill. — ^This Bill proposed to abolish Oaths, and to substitute affirmation in all
cases except in Courts of Justice. It was introduced by Mr. Serjeant Simon, and was with-
drawn on June 10.
Parish Chnrohes Bill. — This Bill proposed to make all parish churches free and open. It
would practically put an end to pew-rents, with certain exceptions, having reference to the
Church Building Acts. Its efiVct would be to declare all churches free (excepting those few
built under special local Acts). The exceptions number at the most one eighth of the total
number of churches. The ofiicial title of the Bill is * An Act to declare and enact the'Law as
to the Rights of Parishioners in respect of their Parish Churches.' It was presented to the
House of Lords by the Bishop of Peterborough, read a second time on March 16, and referred
to a Select Committee.
Places of Worship Sites Bill.— This Bill, brought in by Mr. John Ellis, Mr. Borlase,
Mr. Burt, Mr. M*Arthur, and Mr. H. J. Wilson, provided that landowners may be compelled
to sell land for the erection of places of worship, upon a certain requisition being served upon
them. Such requisitions must be in writing, must be served upon both the owner and occupier
of the land, must specify the religious denomination for which the land is required, must be
accompanied with a plan, and must be signed by not less than twenty inhabitant householders.
Six months after the ser\'ice of the requisition, a memorial is to be presented to (in England)
the county court or court of quarter sessions, ])roving the service of the requisition, and showing
that consent to sell the desired site has been refused. Security for 100/. is to be lodged with
the memorial. The court shall appoint a day for hearing persons concerned, and shall grant
or dismiss the prayer of the memorial as it thinks fit. If it grants the application, within six
months afterwards the persons interested in obtaining the site may execute and lo<lgc in the
court a deed-poll, * by virtue whereof the site so ordered to be conveyetl shall vest in such person
or persons on the trusts and subject to the other conditions specified in the deed, and such deed
shall have efiect and the purchase-money or compensation shall be applied and dealt with as
if the site had been voluntarily granted or conveyed.' The Bill was read a second time, and
fixed for Committee stage on May 14, but was ultimately dropped.
Beligions Proseoutions Abolition Bill. — Prepared and brought in by Mr. Courtney
Kennv, Mr. Coleridge, Mr. Crossley, and Mr. Illingworth. Tliis is a short Bill to enact that
no criminal proceedings maybe instituted in any court for atheism, blasphemy at common
law, blaiphemotts libel| &c. It stood for second reading on July 28, and of course b^^^Tc^^
dro]^)ed.

' Titlie Bent-ohATge Amendment, Recoyery, and Redemption Bille.— The following
coDBtitoted the Select Committee to which the Tithe Bills of Mr. Bolton, Mr. Norton, Mr.
Brookfidd, and Mr. Stanley Leighton were referred : —Mr. Mellor, Mr. Biddulph, Mr. Thomas
Bolton, Mr. Brookfield, Mr. Carew, Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Duckham, Sir Julian Goldsmid, Sir
Thomas Grove, Mr. Oregon*, Mr. Hardy, Mr. lUingworth, Mr. Stanley Leighton, Mr. Norton,
Mr. Donald SuHivan, and Mr. Canrell Williams.
The Committee duly reported to the House of Commons, and upon its reoommendation the
Bill of Mr. Bolton was agreed upon as a basis fur legislation. It enacted that the Land Coni-
roissioners for England should * ascertain in each parish in England and Wales and certify the
capital value of tne extraordinary charge on each farm, or where not a farm on each parcel of
land in respect of which the said charge is payable at the date of the passing of the Act.'
The capital value thus ascertained shall be the basis for commutation, and the * expenses
inenrrad by the CommLanoners in canying out the provisions of the Act shall be paid by the

The Bill passed both Houses of Parliament somewhat hurriedly, and received the Royal
Anent on the eve of the dissolution.
Union of Benefices Bill. — ^This Bill was presented to the House of Lords by the Earl of
Milltown. Its object was to so amend the Union of Benefices Act of 1860, which referred to
the sale of London Churches and Sites, as to prevent the disturbance of the dead in old
London churchyards when the churches were demolLthed, this not having been satisfactorih*
provided for in the 1800 Act. The Bill was, however, negatived without a division on March 2^.
The following Notices of Motion were given :
Biihops in the House of Lords. — ' That, in the opinion of this Housp, tlie right of
sitting in the House of Lords possessed by certain Bishops of the Church of England is con-
trary to public policy and injurious to religious interests, and ought to be abolbhed.' — (Mr.
Rylands.; A'ot brought forward.
Church of Blngland (Beyennes).— * That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire
into and report on the revenues of the Church of England, particularly as to their sources,
nature, total amount, application, and distribution.' — (Mr. Picton.) Aot brought fonoard.
Chnrch Blndowments, Ac. — * That, in the opinion of this House, the time is come to
consider the appropriation of the enormous sums raised annually in the shape of tithes out of
* the agricultural produce of this country.' — (Mr. Everett.) Not brought forward.
Elementary Education. — 'That, in the opinion of this House, the time has arrived when
the Public Elementary Education in England and Wales should be under the management
of the elected representatives of the people, and that such education should be given free of
chaige ; that, in order to secure these objects, School Boards should be elected m every
district, under whose control all public elementary schools should be placed during the hours
in which secular instruction is given.*— (Mr. Kenrick.) Not brought forward.
THE ENGLISH CHURCH UNION.
This Association was formed in the year 1860 for the purpose of Uniting Clergy and
Laity in Loyal Defence of the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England,
and of the Rights and Liberties of her faithful Children.
The maintenance of such an organised body to undertake, under God, this work
of defence, has been rendered necessary by the circumstances of the times ; by the
laxity of professing Churchmen ; by the desire for sweeping changes in the Prayer
Book, and in the old-established order of the Church, as evidenced by the attempts' to
alter the standard of Ritual laid down in the Ornaments Rubric, and in other ways ;
and meanwhile to jntt down, by penal proceedings, imprisonment, and confiscation of
property, those who conform to that Rubric ; and by the tendency among statesmen
and dignitaries to apply the test of expediency or popularity to the spiritual rights of
the Church, and to the most sacred subjects of religious truth.
The work of the English Church Union (which now includes U Bishops, 2,600
Clergy, and 17,000 Laity) is chiefly, therefore, to defend and maintain unimpaired the
Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England agaitut Erastianism, RaHonalimUi
and Puritaniitn; to afford counsel and protection to aJl persons. Lay or Clerical,
Boflering unjust aggression or bindiance in spiritual matters ; and in general so to
^^^ ^nQU&^ ^^tttci^ 'SInton. 453
promote the interests of religion as to be, by God's help, a lasting witness in the
land for the advancement of His glory and the good of His Church.
All commnnications should be made to Lient..Golonel J. B. .Hardy,
Secretary E.C.U., 35 Wellington Street, Strand, W.C.
HOME REUNION SOCIETY.
The pnrpose of this Society is to present the Church of England in a conciliatory
attitude towards those who regard themselves as outside her pale, so as to lead
towards the corporate reunion of all Christians holding the doctrines of the Ever-
Blessed Trinity and the Incarnation and Atonement of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hie
Society, though it cannot support any scheme of comprehension compromising the
three Creeds, or the Episcopal constitution of the Church, will be prepared to advo-
cate all reasonable liberty in matters not contravening the Church's Faith, Order, or
Discipline.
The action of the Society comprehends — (1) Special private prayer for unity as
the first duty of all who desire reunion. (2) Special public services with sermons on
Christian Unity, and the frequent use of the * Prayer for Unity ' from the ofSce for
the Accession in the I^yer Book. (3) The removal of all defects and abuses in the
practical working of the Church's system which may justly give offence to Non-
conformists. (4) Lectures on the history, doctrines, and formularies of the Church
of England, and the circulation of books and papers likely to advance the purpose of
the Society. (5) The promotion of freer social intercourse between Churcbmen and
Nonconformists. (6) The appointment of conmiittees to arrange for conferences
with Nonconformists, in furtherance of the purpose of the Society. This Society
was founded about eight years ago, and has endeavoured to keep the importance of
Home Reunion before the eyes of Churchmen and Dissenters continually. The
management of the Society is vested in a Council, the Chairman of which is the
Right Hon. Earl Nelson. The Council meets generally about twice in each year, and
an executive committee meets much more frequently, but the days of meeting are
not fixed. The minimum subscription for membership is 2t. 6d.
Further information may be obtaioed from the Finance Secretary, the
Bey. B. Milbnrn Blakiston, 7 Whitehall, London, S.W.

CHAPTER Xm.
RECENT CHURCH LITERATURE.
This short abstract record o! Charcb Lifceratare pablished daring the
past year has been compiled with a twofold object : lirst, as showing upon
what sabjects the minds of thoughtful men within the Ghnrch have been
bent, and placing the results of their intellectual thoughts and labour in
some such permanent fori^ as that it may be found useful for reference ;
secondly, as serving to illustrate to some extent the ability, and power of
the Church to deal with the subjects, which are stirring the minds of men
who are veaming after a higher range in the knowledge of the things of
God, and for growth in the spiritual life.
As the importance of theological study is more than ever urged upon
the Clergy by the development of intellectual thought and culture among
the people, it is felt that this Section may be especially useful, as furnish-
ing a guide to modern Theological Literature, and many have already
assured us that it has proved serviceable to the end.
In compiling this list the Editor has referred to all published records of
Church literature, and has endeavoured to secure completeness in this
report. It is quite possible, however, that some omissions may have
unintentionally been made. For this an apology alone can be offered. It
should be borne in mind that this Section deals only with such literature
as may be said fairly to come within the character of works indicated by
definitions which follow.

Short Description of Scope and Contonts
The editor has made a selection of sermons preached by Dr.
Tillotson. The subjects of the selected sermons are : ** The
Divinity and Incarnation of our Blessed Lord/ ' Christianity
in Relation to the Law of Mosefl,' * The Goodness of God/ and
« The Work of the Holy Ghost.*
The preacher's object may be best inferred by a short definition
of the subjects of which he treats — viz., • Constitutional
Loyalty.' •The Church of Kngland and Holy Scripture/
* Is all Holy Scripture equally, that is to say*, in the same
sense, Inspired? ' *The studied moderation of the Church of
England.'
This volume contains the charges which the late Bishop delivered
to the candidates for Holy Orders at the several ordinations
which were held in the diocese during his episcopate. There
is an introduction by Canon Luckock, the late Bishop's ex-
amining chaplain, describing the general methods which the
Bishop followed in accepting candidates for Holy Orders, and
in their subsequent examination and ordination. This ffives
a completeness and additional interest to the book as a whole.
These sermons were preached by the Dean in St. Paul's Cathe-
dral during the Advent season of 1885. The Advent of our
Lord is dealt with under the following headings, forming the
subject of separate discourses, * Faith amidst Changes,' * The
Kingdom of God/ and * Hope.'
A second edition, revised and enlarged, containing a selection
of practical sermons preached by the author.
This work in its several series collects together sennons and
k'indred writings of the leading Theologians of the present
day. Among the selected sermons which this volume con-
tains, are those of Dean Church upon * Faith amid Changes,'
Canon Paget upon * Salvation* by Hope,* and Dr. Perowne
upon *The Gospel of the Poor.' In the expository section
there is a sermon of Canon Luckock's, preached at Man-
chester Cathedral, on 'The Sons of Thunder/ There arc
eighteen outlines of sermons by difTerent authors.
Contains sermons by the Dean of Llandatf and Bishop of Deny
upon the reign of Christ in Christendom, By the Bishop of
Manchester and the Rev. H. .Montagu Villiers upon the
memorj' of the late Rev. W. J. E. Bennett, Vicar of Frome.
There are fivesuWects separately dealtwith in the expository
section by the Bislup of Itipon and others ; also twelve
new outlines of sermons. There arc brief memoirs of the late
Master of Trinity and Canon Morse of Nottingham.
A collection of sennons preached by Canon Liddon, and selected

This volume contains essays upon the following subjects, dealt
with in their practical relationship to the Christian life, viz. :
* Repentance/ * Justification,' and * Faith/ To these, sermons
are added upon ' Absolution and the Prayer Book,' * The
Credibility of the Supernatural/ and on * The Action of the

\ Magfrrs,
The son of the late Bishop has, by request, collected and pub-
lished in this volume twentr-seven sermons preached by his
father for the most part in Brightstone Church, though three
are inserted which were preached in the College Chapel, Win-
chester, and two in Salisbury Cathedral. None of these ser-
mons have previously appeared.
A series of brief instructions illustrating the faithfulness of God
in the tenderness of his dealings in the training of Christian
life and character. They seem to be written to impart hope
and consolation to those who from one cause or another suffer
from spiritual depression.
The aim of these sermons is to show the union which exists
between the members of the Church of Christ and the Lord
Himself, and also to dwell upon the characteristics of Christian
life as one of pilgrimage and of common work and suffering.
The Dean, in a course of sermons preached at St. Paul's, illus-
trates the nature, and enforces the duty of discipline in its in-
fluence upon the Christian character. The general scheme of
these sermons is worked out by reference to the place which
the need, and growth, of discipline held in Patriarchal life,
the teaching of Mosaic law, the Psalms and Prophets, and
ultimately in the visible manifestations of Jesus Christ and in
the duly imitation of His life.
These addresses have been published in this form as an aid to
the devotional life. They were delivered by the selected
speakers at the devotional meeting of the Church Congress at
Portsmouth, 1885.
Six short addresses, delivered to the candidates for Holy Orders
' at the primary ordination of the Bishop of Ely, Lent 1886.
The addresses deal with the vocation, miDistry,'per8onal life,
peculiar temptations and secret strength of a pnest equipped
for the service of the Church of God.
The writer*s design is to familiarise the minds of children with
the spiritual teachings of nature. This is done in the form of
twenty short sermons, and the mention of the few headings
following will indicate the method of the work as a whole :
* Briars and Roses,' * Men as Trees walking,' * A Bird's Nest,'
* Birds of Passage.*
The opening events of our blessed Lord's ministry forms the
subject of ten short lectures contained in this book, the foUow-
iuf; among others : ^ The Temptation,' * The Miracle at Cana,'
* The Sabbath at Capernaum,' ' The Call of Levi.'
Short addresses to encoura^ the life and spirit of kindness in
thoughts and acts of daily life.
A course of addresses delivered in S. Mary's Church, Hastings,
illustrative of the manner in which the blessings promised to
individual patriarchs were fulfilled in the history of each
tribe.
Professor Bright has in this volume translated a selection of
sermons of Leo the Great on the Incarnation of our blessed
Lord. The sermons are specially designed for the sacred
seasons of Christmas, Epiphany, and Passiontide ; Kastcr, As-
cension, and Whitsuntide. The 28th Epistle, called ' The
Tome,' is added.
In this volume Canon Carter takes as his subject the Lord's
Prayer, and in a series of inptructions delivcnd during
J.en't unfolds the ppiritual teaching and practical le«sons of
the Lord's Prayer. This volume also contains seven smnona
or addresses upon the history of Elijah and five upon the
history of Jonaii, both arranged for Lenten course?.

This is the second volume, though the first published, of a
series which the writer purposes to publish under the
definition of * Christ and Christianity.' In the present
volume ' The Story of the Four ' dwells not upon Jesus and
the events a.d. 1-33, but rather upon the period a.d. Sd-150
which saw them written down ; the kind of material at the
disposal of the writers is considered, and the um they made
of it commented upon.
I. 'Anecdotes illustrative of Old Testament TexU.* The
editor of this volume has carefully collected a number of
anecdotes from a great variety of sources to enforce the
lessons of certain selected texts from the Old Testament.
There are altogether over 500 texts so dealt with.
II. 'Xew Outlines of Sermons on the New Testament.*
This volume is a collection of more than eighty sermons in
brief outline, hitherto unpublished, illustrating' the teaching
of the New Testament.
The object ol the publication of 'The Expositor' is to collect
from the writings and studies of theologians and men of
science short treatises upon various subjects connected with
Biblical study and theological thought. The mutual
relationships of religion and science are illustrated in the
same'wav from time to time. The contributors to Vol. III.
are Professors Godet, Kirkpatrick, Salmon, and Westcott^
with a considerable number of others. There is a paper
upon the didache and the Epistle of St. Barnabas ; also on
the First and Second Books of Samuel, with a survey of
recent English literature on the New Testament.
This volume has a paper upon Bishop Lightfoot, also upon
Gnosticism in Asia Minor, several essays upon the Book of
Zechariah and the Epistle to the Colossians. Among the
contributors are Professors Davidson, Cheyne, Godet, Kirk-
patrick, and Dr. Hay man.
The writer's aim is to help those who are at present but young
and little instructed in the spiritual life. Convinced that
the Holy Scriptures are very superficially read, he has taken
tip certain points of faith and practice connected with the
growth of the divine life, and has so explain&d and simplified
them that they come clearly within the comprehension of
those who often fail to apprehend tLeir meaning for lack of
simpler teaching.
This volume is comprised of thirty three devotional studies
u|)on our blosw<l LonPH miracl*^ of healing. The practical
fjksign of the writer is to promote in others the growth of
that life nud spirit of compassion towards suAering which
found m) nrominent a place in the Redeemer's character and
work. These addresses so collected are intended for those
who visit the sick, as well as for private devotional reading.
The editor of this book has combined selections from the writ-
ings of Keble and Lidd<m for devotional reading. The
arranp^ment is as follow* : For everA* Sundav and Festival
fir.Ht come the verses from the 'Christian Year,* then the
Collect tor the <lay from the Prayer-book ; to follow these, a
passage fnmi th 5 works of Cano'n Liddon has been chosen,
bearing upon the teaching of the verses and Collect with
which it is connected.

In six small volumes tiic writer has collected from the Fathers
and old Divines short passages illustrative of the Christian's
armour as described by St. Paul (Kphesians vi. 10-20), point-
ing out the practical lessons to be drawn from these
metaphors which St. Paul has used ns descriptive of the
Christian warfare. These volumes seem to be especially suit-
able for use among those newly confirmed.

COMMENTARIES.
The author has written this commentary to aid Biblical stu-
dents in an intelligent study of the Book of Joshua. There
are copious grammatical, exegetical, historical, and ethical
notes, drawn principally from the Grammar of Geseoius,
Bishop Wordsworth's Commentary, and Smith's Dictionaiy of
the Bible. The aim of the Commentary is rather critical than
practical.
This volume is a collection of papers which have previously
appeared in the *Homiletic Magazine.' The title to some
extent conveys an idea of the autnor*s intentions in the com-
pilation of this work. It is not so much a critical commentary
as a practical exposition of the prophecy of Daniel, with a
view to show bow its teaching bears upon the conduct and
guidance of the Christian life.
The writer has endeavoured to gather from all available sources
all the infonnation that would throw light upon the teaching
of our Blessed Lord in His Sermon on the Mount. The whole
teaching of this discourse is examined in ihe light of modem
criticism, and its ethical precepts compared with the bcwt
moral teaching of the ancient world. The main object of
this author is to give prominence to the permanent value of
the Sermon on the Mount as the highest code of morality, and
as having had a life-long and world-wide influence upon the
{jersonal and public life.
In writing the life of our Blessed Lord, the author of this book
tries to impart additional interest to the stor}' by vividly
depicting the circumstances under which the Saviour lived
and move<l. The religious, the ecclesiastical, civil, and social
aspects of His time; the parties of the day, their opinions and
spirit ; the customs that ruled, the influences that prevailed,
the events, social and |K)litical: all these, though not mentioned
in the Gospel, are brought out into prominence, as far as
mav be, that the reader may see their bearings upon the life
of Christ.
The argument of the author is that a section of St, Luke's
Gospel has been placed after a section which it originally pre-
ceded, thus creating a new and utterly confusing order of
events, and that this displacement being rectified, the general
arrangement of the Gospels becomes perfectly simple through-
out, St. Luke's restored order explaining the exact plan of
St Matthew's Gospel and the rare departures from ctirono-
logical arrangement observable in St. Mark. I

Sbivt Description of Scope and OontoiU
The translator's desire has been to present the nttenmoes of the
prophet in a form as identical as may be with that in which
they met the eye of those to whom they were originally
addressed. With this aim, while strictly literal and faithful
to the Hebrew text, he has retained the parallelisms, the
characteristic mark of all Hebrew poetry.
A continuation of the tmmlation of St. Cyril's commentarr,
commenced more than eleven years ago by the late P. £.
Pusey. The further completion of the work was, by Dr.
Pusey's death and other circumstances, interrupted, Gil at
length arrangements wore made for its continuance. The
commentary takes the form of a discussion upon the doctrinal
teaching of the Gospel — the present volume treating of the
relationship of the lather to the Son, the Holy Sjnrit, and
the Holy Trinity, the nature, obligation, and peward<i of faith,
the prophecies, and types of the law.
This volume is a reprint from the • Spcaker*> Commentary*.* It
is prefaced by a lengthened introduction, discussing the
authorship, language, and the designed object of the Epistle.
The authorities for the text are exhaustiyely stated, ana there
is a very full explanation of the contents and argument. The
notes are critically exact and complete, whilst the practiiral
teaching of the Epistle is prominently brought out.
The writer's aim is to brin^t the Epistle to the Romans more
within the comprehension of ordinary readers. The Autho-
rised Version is arranged in paragraphs as distinct flroin
chapter and verse. I'he whole Epistle is dealt with under
four divisions : (1) Salutation, preface. Sec; (2) Disputation
with the Jew embracing the Christian faith but still cling-
ing to his national privileges ; (S) Dissertation on the pro-
spect of Jews not accepting Christianity ; (4) Practical
precepts.
A desire to find out the real meaning and central principle of
the life and teaching of St Paul induced the writer to
compile this commentary because ho saw the answers to his
questions in the Epistles to the Corinthian Church. In
carrying out his work the Author deals with his sabjeect
under the following distinct subdivisions: (1) The Factions
in the Church ; (2) Church Discipline ; (8) Marriage and
Celibacy; (4) Concerning the Meat offered to Idols; (5)
Censure of Abuses ; (6) Spiritusl Gifts ; (7) The Resurrec-
tion of the Dead ; (8) Sundry Pen<onal and Incidental
Matters.
Certain passages of the New Testament as they stand in the
Authorised and Revised Text are brought together, and
their relative inerits commented upon and Portly discussed.
* The Epistle to the Hebrews.*— The exposition is by the Rev.
J. Barmby, B.D., the Homiletics by the Rev. C. Jerdan, and
the Homilies by the Rev. J. 8. Bright, Rev. D. Young, and-
others.
*The Epistle of St. James.'— The Exposition and Homiletics are
by Prebendary E. C. S. Gibson ; the Homilies by the Rev.
C. Jerdan and the Rev. T. F. Lockyer. These commentaries
are made generally available for practical instruction by
careful references to textual criticism, the revised translation
where necessary, ancient customs, contemporary history,
geographical and scientific research.

OAM, D.D. Macmillan,
In a preface the author shortly explains the oljects he has had
in view. He limits his meaning of exegesis to an explanation
and primary sense of the sacred writings ; he deals solely with
the chief epochs in the progress of bibUcai science, emphasiz-
ing; those which have most inflaenced the various metnods of
interpretation. Archdeacon Farrar carries out the purpose of
the Founder of the Lectureship in three ways:-^l) By noting
tlic change in the condition of criticism which the experience
of the Christian Church and the advance in knowledge has
absolutely necessitated. (2) That there is an inherent
grandeur in the teachings of^ Scripture which has alwavs
secured transcendent authority. (3) By answering the ob-
jections of infidels and free-thinkers to the historic details or
moral imperfections of particular narratives of 'the Old
Testament.
This is the fourth volume of a work comprising an extensive
range of extracts bearing upon a verv wide circle of religious
and kindred subjects gaUiered from toe best available sources
of all ages and schools of thought In this book commences
what nuiy be regarded as the Christian dogmatic sections of
this work. It is arranged in the following fourfold division : —
(1) Jehovistic Names and Titles of God ; (2) The Attributes
of God ; (8) Sins ; (4) Christian DogmaUcs. The last sec-
tion being treated thus: — (1) Introduction; (2) The
Normal Relations between God and Man; (8) Breach of
these Relations ; (4) Restoration of these Relations.
The writer*8 object is to aid a reverent study of the g^reat central
doctrine of the incarnation of our blessed Lord. The book is
divided practically into two sections, the first investigaiing
what is meant by the human * ego,' Uie second applying the
meaning of the word * person * in its fUllest significance to the
humanity of our blessed Lord.
A volume of sermons preached by Canon Westcott in West-
minster Abbey upon some aspects of the work and person of
Christ in rela^on to modem thought The general idea of the
writer appears to be to show how the realiaatbn of the
presence of Christus Consumniator and of eternal things tends
to strengthen the Christian in bearing the delays, failures, and
sorrows of human life. This lesson is based upon the teach-
ing of the Epistle to the Hebrews, and illustrated by some
special aspects of the person and work of Christ which corre-
spond with the wants of our own position.
This is the first of a series of popular manuals published in the
hope of counteracting some of the modem obstacles to
Christian faith. The book is divided into two parts : — (1)
The Moral Evidence, showing how the teaching and character
of our blessed Lord has influenced the whole tone of the
modem world throuf^h the last eighteen centuries ; (2) The
Miraculous Attestation of Christianity — its Nature and
Evidence, by pointing out the testimony of early Christian
writers to the Gospels ; the nature and value of St. Paul's
writings as historical documents ; the Resurrection, and
Christ the Fulfiller of the Law.
Notwithstanding the difficulties connected with the interpreta-
tion of the Apocalypse, the author, feeling the great import-
ance of a carenil study of this book of Holy Scripture, has
written these lectures. The chief points considered are : the
influences moulding the conception of the Revelation its
structure and plan, interpretation, scope and design.

Short Description of Scope and Ck>ntenta
The prevalence of unbelief suggested the idea of famishing
these short manuals ; they are written and published to reach
the popular mind. For this reason the arguments are generally
stated with as much brevity and simplicity as [Mssible. The
following have already appeared ; * On Prayer,* by Rev. T.
Tcignmonth Shore, discussing onlv the most ordinary difficul-
ties which are urged with regard to prayer. 'Creation,* by
the Bishop of Carlisle, dealing with the subject under the
following aspects: theological, philosophical, and scientific,
&c. * Morality of the Old Testament,* by Newman Smyth,
the subjects Ijeing treated as follows: general principles,
alleged moral defects, and the moral defects of the Mosaic
law. *The Divinity of our Lord,* by the Bishop of Derrv.
The Bishop deals with the direct scriptural proof, and the
suggestions of the gospel and histoiy. ' Miracles,* by Rev.
Brownlow Maitland ; Uie contents of the volume indicate its
plan, the nature of the connection between Christianity and
miracles^the antecedent objections to miracles — the point of
view from which they shoum be approached, the presumption
and direct evidence in &vour of miracles.
A volume of six lectures, dealing with the relationship between
the Gospel and philosophy, uider the following divisions :
Christ and Christianity ; The world*8 darkness and God*8
illumination ; Christianity a doffmatio, sacerdotal, and sacra-
mental system ; The evil work en philosophy, and the question
at issue between the gospel and pnilosophy.
In treating his subject, the author of these lectures bases his
argument not upon metaphysics, but upon the ordinary ex-
perience of the working of our minds in individual life and in-
tercourse, and upon the fact that the only lasting basis of
faith is to be found in those beliefii which are obvicusly re-
quired in daily life.
A course of lectures originally delivered in Bristol, many of
them having been revised. The Archdeacon's intention seems
to be to familiarise those who have but little knowledge of the
subject, with the arguments and general teaching of * Batler*s
Analogy.' The volume is a brief but exhaustive manual, and
for this reason is easy of distribution.
This is the first issue of a series to be called * The Foreign
Biblical Library.* The design of this undertaking is to bring
into greater prominence the study and teaching of theological
writers of various schools and shades of thought. This volume
is prefaced by an introductory essay upon the life and teach-
ing of Rothe ; then follow twelve chapters each containing
selections and brief thoughts upon the following, among other
subjects, 'God and Man,' <God and the World,* * Christ,*
• Church History,* 'Politics,* * Culture,* * Christianity and the
Church.*
Four lectures delivered in Edinburgh on the Honeyman-
Gillespie foundation. The writer discusses the historic as-
pects of the a priori argument concerning the Being and
attributes of God. There are one or two appendices, and an
index as a guide to the use of the book.
The author's object is to reply to the arguments used bv Pro-
fessor Drummond in his well-known book entitled ' Natural
Law in the Spiritual World.* In carrying out his purpose he
contends for the perfect independence of religion and scienoe,
arguing that the scope and sphere of the natural laws are in
the seen and temporal, whilst the scope and sphere of the
spiritual laws are m the unseen and eternal.

This volume contains a series of papers written by theologians
of various shades of opinion upon the question, * Is salvation
pomible after death ? ^ The papers have previously appeared
in the ' Ilomiletic Magasfne,* and the present volume is one
of a series called * Nisbet*s Theological Library.*
The author seeks to justify his convictions that there is proof t)
establish the argument of St. Paul being the author of the
latft twelve verses of St Bfark*8 Gospel.
This edition is a reprint of the Latin and Gkiglish text published
in Oxford in 1841.
From personal exporientie of snch doubts and mUgiving:* the
writer endeavours to dispel the erroneous conceptions of thow
who regard the trials and suflferingK of life onlv n» the penal-
ties and consequences of idn, and fail to recognise their part in
the traininj^ of^ character for the eigoyment of that more per-
fect life whtch is to be revealed in us.
A aeries of essays upon the teaching of the Church with regard
to the Sacrament of Baptism, prepared by the writer when in
charge of a country parish in which misconception and preju-
dice with regard to sacramental teaching were prevalent. The
whole subject is explained in a practioil way by arguments
based upon the teaching of Holy Scripture and of the Apos-
tolic Church.
This volume contains six lectures delivered by the Bbhop under
* the Paddock foundation.' The subject is dealt with under
the following headings : The true ideal of the Church, The
particular or national Church, A Church in the United States
national and pure. The Church's duty to her own children
and people. To a divided Christendom ; Her claim upon the
service of her Clergy. Canon Hole, in a preface, points out
among other things that one aim of the lecturer is to prove
our sonship in the one Catholic and A|>ostolic Church, and at
the same time to utter a warning, founded upon experience, to
those who would disestablish and disendow.
The aim of the author is to quote and condense arguments from
various sources to prove the identification of the Britkfh natitni
with the Ten Tribes of Israel.
LITURGICAL.
This is a revised edition of a manual to assist teachers and
Clergy in the catechising of children upon the events and
meaning of the Churches Fasts and Festivals.
A short manual of instruction in which the several articles of
this Creed are exp!ained and verified from Holy Scripture.
S)me questions for examination are appended. The book
seems to be designed not alone for the use of teacher, but for
personal study and edification.
Written for those who wish to form an impartial and correct
estimate of the importance and value of the Sacrament of the
Lord*s Supper, as laid down in Waterland's treatise. Designed
also for the use of candidates for Confirmation.

The author, familiarised with the character and writings of the
late F. W. Robertson, has compiled this memoir, in the hope
of giving some f^hness to the records of a ILfie which had
such remarkable influence upon society at large. After
tracing somewhat briefly the early life and the subsequent
training at Cheltenham,' Winchester, and Oxford, the writer
confines himself to Robertson's work and position in Brighton.
There is a chapter confined to a consideration of the religious
character of Robertson's teaching.
This memoir has attracted special notice from the prominence
fiven to the personal worth and heroism of the late James
[annington, who bravely faced even death itself in the cause
of planting the kingdom of Christ in the region of Eastern
Equatorial Africa. The memoir is written by a close per-
sonal friend of the Bishop, and the access which the bio-
grapher has had to private diaries and letters has enabled
him to draw a very vivid picture of the life and character of
this devoted servant of Christ.
An exhaustive memoir of Bishop Hall, in which the author
traces his early training and subsequent education, the pre-
vailing characteristics of national life during his boyhood, his
work at Halstead, Waltham, and Worcester, and afterwards
as Bishop of Exeter and of Norwich. There is an appendix
containing a short pedigree of Bishop Hall's family ; mention
is also made of his will as Bishop of Norwich, and of Bishop
Hall's cup at Exeter College, Oxford.
A seventh edition of the memoir of the late Dean Hook. The
object in republishing this already well-known book bns
been to bring the study of this remarkable life within reach
of those who would be unable to purchase the memoir in it^
original and more expensive form.
A memoir of one who in his time occupied a prominent place in
the city and University of Oxford. Henry Bazelev was ript'
in theological learning, but devoted much of his time at the
University to street preaching. The biographer, after dc
scribing very briefly the childhood, school days, and under-
graduate life, confines himself principally to Bazeley's early
evangelistic efforts, his difficulties with regard to his position
in the Church, concluding with a collection of letters of
counsel and controversy.

A volume of outlines of sermons, mainly intended for use at
Children's Services, but capable of adaptation for use at Cot-
tage Lectures. The sermons are arranged for the most part
to suit the Church's seasons. A sliort chapter is devoted to
general hints as to tlie conducting of Children's Services,
based upon the experience the writer himself has gained.
A few thoughts upon the duties of a Christian mother. Suitable
for private distribution, or for use at Mothers* Meetings.
A selection of simple and short readings, in large type, for use
in visiting the poor.
Our blessed Lord's life, as an example of the Christian graces
and characteristics of manliness, forms the subject of a course
of simple lessons for use in Adult Bible Classes. Each lesson
is so subdivided that it may be taken as a whole or in part,
as time permits.
Feeling that the Old Testament is not read as it should be,
partly from the fact that the main thread of a stoiy is so fre-
auently interrupted by less interesting matter, the compiler of
^is book has endeavoured so to arrange the most interesting
episodes fh>m the Old Testament narrative as to lead to a
more intelligent study of the whole books.
Allowing that each Gospel has its own distinctive character and
significance, the compiler of this work still feels that the Gos-
pel narrative is more vividly represented by the whole four
Gospels taken together, rather than by any one individual
Gospel. It is written in the hope that some might be induced
to study the life of Jesus if it were cast in the form of a con-
tinuous bio;i:raphy and freed from the formality of chapters
and numbered verses.
The story of our blesseti Lord's life is told in narrative form for
the instruction of very young children. The holy life is
briefly reviewed in twelve cliapters, each forming al)bnt half
an hour's lesson, and being illustrated by a large-sized picture.
This volume presents the results of an innuiry into the veri-
similitude of the received likeness of our olessed Lord. The
work was originally published in folio form in 1880, and
having regard to its value, the Tract Committee of the
S.P.cIK. have reproduced it in cheaper form, with a view to
its wider circulation.
A stndy of the life and times of Abraham, written as the first
of a series dwelling upon patriarchal life. The materials for
this study are taken first from the direct source of Holy Scrip-
ture, and subsequently from the history of Josephus, the
Koran, and other works.
Sixteen coloured IllustrationS| representing our blessed Lord^s
nativity, the lesson of each cartoon being pointed out in a
text from Holy Scripture.
A sdection of short readings giving counsel and comfort to the
aged, in very large clear type. A book well suited for gift or
loan among the aged poor.
A small manual of notes for Teachers in Sunday Schools having
charge of classes just above infants, where the children can ;
read. [

Short Description of Scope and Contents
A collection of poems written hy the Bishop at intervals during
the last forty yean, containing, among others, poems on the
deaths of Bishop Lonsdale and Bishop Gray ; on the transla-
tion of the Bishop ot Truro to the Primacy ; a tale of the
Tendon Mission. A selection of fifty-foar hymns from the
Bishop's pen is also given.
The author has gron^ together for wider use these carob,
which were found helpAU to his own children and parishioners
in realising the sacrea joy of the Festival of the Incarnation.
The subject of this poem is the peace found in the devout attend-
ance upon the Holy Eucharist. Commended hy Canon Body
for devotional use.
A collection of poems, a considerable number of which have not
been published, while some have appeared in the * Contempo-
rary and National Review.' The poems are arranged under
the' following heads : — Sacred, Narrative, and Inflective ;
Characters and Inscriptions, Sonnets and Translations.
A selection of original hymns and poems in which the author
has endeavoured to represent in metrical form portions of the
teachings of Hooker and Pearson, and of earlier and later
roasters in Christian Theology, on the central doctrine of the
Christian Faith. Among others, there is a Litany at the
Resurrection, and a Hymn before Ordination, publiahed by
special request of the late Bishop of £lv.
This volume consists of 126 Hymns for Mission Services, set to
music; they have been published because thcry were found
especially suitable to this purpose at Missions m the Diocese
of Durham.
This book contains over 200 hymns, litanies, and carols for use
at children's services ; the hrmns have in each case been set to
music under the direction of Rev. £. J. Ridsdale, Vicar of St
Peter's, Folkestone, who has very largel v made use of tunes from
German, French, and Italian sources hitherto unpublished in
this country ; there are also twenty nine new tunes by Eng-
lish composers. An Order for a Children's Service is pre-
fixed.
A selection of sacred poems of a devotional character, following
strictly the order of the Church's year. The writer's aim may
be caught from the title of her book, which she has used because
a crown is a complete circle, and so in like manner in the
Church's year we follow the events of our blessed Lord's life
in their ever-circling recurrence, and secondly because a crown
represents the fulfilment of all efibrts and desires which find
their ultimate pcifection in the life of Christ Himself.
The revised version of the Psalms is here for the first time
adapted fur chant music. By a division of the verses with-
out injuring the sense the long recitation passages are often
avoided. The chants selected are those t^t suited for Con-
gregational use.
A short service of song descriptive of the saintly life on earth
and in Heaven, illustrated from a selection of Hymns from
Church Hymns (S.P.C.K.), with short readings from Holy
Scripture. "

CHURCH HISTORY.
This is an exhaustive examination of the several points whieh
have been raised in connection with the revived agitation for
the Disendowment and Disestablishment of the Church of
England. It is prefaced by a lengthened introductory letter
to Mr. Gladstone, in which the writer carefully reviews the
whole question and principle at issue. The book is divided
into three parts.
(i.> The Church and its Establishmjent^ dealiu;; with the history
of the Church before and after the Reformation, and the Book
of Ci>mmon Prayer.
(ii.) Church ^ndbimneiifo, dealing with Church property, fabrics
and lands, tithes, general and parochial, the national property
argument.
(iir.) The Adversaries and their Case, — Xonconformity, Dis-
senters, endowments. Church work, and the charge of failure,
religious censuses, the scheme of Disestablishment, and the
attempt to separate Wales.
The recent controversy impressed the author with the need of a
thorough examination of the relations between Church and
State, as exhibited in nature, revelation, and history* ; and
this work is the result of his search. Some extracts from the
headings of the various chapters will indicate the precise cha-
racter of the work, viz. : The origin of the State, The orlcnn
of the Church, The Church of England the divinely appointed
Church of the land. The relations between Clergy and laity,
Historical survey of the Church in the various epochs, and
Disestablishment.
The writer first deals with the proposals made in * the Radical
programme' for the Disendowment and Disestablishment of
the Church He then proceeds to treat generally of the sub-
ject of sacrilege, and to show historically some of the direct
consequences which affected the life and history of kings and
families of influence who wore p:uilty of sacrilegious acts. As
for instance, in the times of Norman and Plantagenet sove-
reigns, the writer treats at length the calamities which befel
Henry VIIT. and those who were his chief agents in the
spoliation of the Church.
The recent revival of the movements for the Disestablishment «>f
the English Church has suggested the publication of a new
edition of this work with some slight additions. The author's
object is to prove that, should any disturbance of the relatio.v
ship between Church and State ever arise, the Church of
England will still remain as she has ever done for 1200 years,
one united bodv under the Bishops of her historical Sees.
The book is written with the object of presenting a history of
the Church in the earliest ages in a popular and concise form.
Every essential fact is noted, while the author's desire has been
to reduce his histor>' into as small a compass as possible. The
work is founded entirely u|X)n the writings of the first and
second centuries. Each reference has been carefully verified,
and given as fully as may be, fo that the reader may deter-
mine for himself the value of the testimony which has been
cit-ed.

The following are three volamea now published as part of a
series bearing upon the general subject of Church History in
its various aspects. They are written to meet the popular
wants of fuller iDstruction upon the position and history of
the Church.
* The Reformation in England/ by Canon Perry. The religious
and ecclesiastical changes through which the Church of
Kngland passed in the 16th century are carefully explained
with one prominent aim, viz. that of giving the progress of
the National Church ftom its state of bondage to Rome to
the commencement of a higher and purer life of faith and
work.
* The Evangelical Revival in the 18th Century/ by Canon
Overton. The aim of this work and the author's methods in
dealing with it will, perhaps, be best gathered from the head-
ings of the chapters into which the book is divided : John
Wesley, George Wbit6eld and others, Methodism and Evan-
gelicalism, Evangelical clergy and laity, The literature of
the revival. Its results, opposition and doctrine.
< The English Church in other Lands,* by Prebendary Tucker.
The author, within the limit of space allowed him, endeavours
to surve}* the origin and growth of mifsionar}' work in its
widest aspect, that is to say, not of the Anglican Communion
alone, but of all the sections into which English Christianity
is divided. The first chapter traces the growth of the
missionary spirit, the subsequent ones the development of
mis^ionarv bfe and zeal in the different countries of the
world, liie writer, in conclusion, enforces, as the moral of
his stor}\ the responsibilities resting upon the Church and
nation to use the great opportunities woich are now offered
for the domination of the world at large with the teaching
and power of Christianity.'
The author in a series of notes traces the history of the English
Church from the earliest times to the dawn of the Reforma-
mation. The book lays no claim to originality or to being an
exhaustive record, and is merely a popular handbook to
suggest subjects and furnish outlines of thought for village
lectures. A chronological table of important events in Church
History is also added ; and a very complete index is given to
assist the general use of the book.
In n series of sermons delivered in the Church of St. John the
Evnngelist, S. Clevedon, Ihe author treats of some of the
riiief events of Church History from the earliest time:) to
modern days. Each sermon is concluded with a summary of
the i>oiuts*which have been dwelt upon. A list of the dates
referred to in the sermons is added, and of the books which
iiave been quoted.
This volume contains a series of l-ctures delivered l>v Professor
Stokes in the Divinity School of Trinity College, Dublin. The
subject of the lectures' is the History of Ireland from St. Pa-
trick t<» the English Conquest in 11*72. The writer dwells at
length upon the origin of Celtic Christionity ; St. Patrick, his
life and mission ; St. Columba, Ireland and the East ; 1 he
Danish invasion of Ireland and the Pagan Crusade, The See
of Dublin and union with Kngland.
The Hulsean Lectures for 1 885. Feeling that St Austin has
often been misrepresented by the habit of quoting isolated ex-
pressions from bis writings', the author's object has been t»
prevent this bv giving such an account of his philosoiAliitf
and theological doctrines as might form a suitable
tion to the study of his works.

Short DoBcrfption of Scope and Contents
The purpose of the anthor cannot be better described than in his
dedicatory words to the students for whom the yolame was
specially written. ' 1 dedicate these biographical sketches of
the Church Father, the Reformer, and the Church Historian,
witnesses of the unity of the Spirit in the diversities of gifts,
and as inspiring examples of consecration to the service of
Christ.*
This work has been published to furnish a comprehensive hand-
book to the principles and doctrines of the Church of England.
It sets forth the Cburch*s teaching as expounded in the Prayer
Book, 1662 ; The Thirty-nine Articles and Homilies (15^2)
upon the foUowing points: The Catholic Church, Christian
Ministry, The Sacrament of Baptism and of the Lord's
Supper,' The Confession and Absolution, Pravers for the
Dead.
The writer^s object is to encourage a just appreciation of the
responsibilities involved in the possession of the franchise, and
to secure a due recognition of tne causes which may seem to
justify the present prevalent call for Church Reform.
The essays found in this volume upon the ancient British Church
were adjudged best among those submitted for competition at
the National Eisteddfod of 1876. The writer traces the connect-
ing link between the British Church and the history of the
\Velsh people, and deals with some of the causes which have
contributed to the growth of Dissent in Wales.

MISCELLANEOUS.
A newly-published edition of the * Polyglot Bible.' In addition
to the text itself there are a considerable number of tables and
summaries given to assist an intelligent study of the Scrip-
tures. As for instance, a chronological table of the Patriarchs
Judges, Kings and Prophets of Judah and Israel, the harmony
of the Gospels, a table of prophetic allusions to Christ in the
Old Testament, an alphabetical index, and an atlas.
This volume is the official report, and contains all the papers
read at the Church Congress at Wakefield, each having re-
ceived the careful revision of its author. In addition to this
short summaries are given of the speeches. This volume has
been edited as in former years by the Kev. C. Dunkley, Vicar
of St. Mary's, Wolverhampton, and, as a whole, presents a
reliable record of the proceedings.
The aim of those who edit this Keview is to furnish an intelli-
gent discussion of questions affecting the history, work,
literature, and theology of the Church. The papers arc
written chiefly for those who think deeply upon Church
(question?, ani naturally embrace a verv wide range. Current
literature of a theological and general character is reviewed at
more or less length. Of the articles which have appeai*ed
during the year 1886, the following seem perhaps to call for
special notice :
January Number— * The Church in the United States of
America,' • Free Schools,' * The Church and the Elections.'
April Number— * Nonconformist Objections to the Establish-
ment,' *The Influence of the Pulpit,' 'Church Reform.'
July Number— * Home Mission VVork in large Towns,* *Tlie
Architectural History of Cambridge.'
October Number—* Recent Translations ft-om St. Cyril of Alex-
andria,' * The Ambrosian Breviary,' * Sccialifm and
Darwinism.'

STATISTICAL SECTION.
GENERAL EXPLANATION.
In fxLrnishing these statistics many difficulties haye naturally been found
in securing that exact measure of completeness which is desired ; at the
same time the great importance of accuracy has been steadily kept in
view.
To give confidence in making use of these fig^ures, it is thought well
to give some short explanation of the circumstances under which each
tabular statement has been constructed.
Ordinations. — This statement represents the number of Deaoona
ordained in the several Dioceses within the Provinces of Canterbury and
York during the years 1872-1886, showing the totals both for each year
and for the whole period, together with statistical details of the educa-
tional antecedents of the candidates.
These returns have in each case been obtained by reference to the
official records in the custody of the Bishops' Secretaries.
ConfirmationB. — A t^n years' table is given, pointing out the number
of male and female candidates confirmed in each year, together with the
number of Centres at which Confirmations have been held. This table
also represents the annual totals, and for the whole period.
These returns have been furnished directly by the Bishops themselves.
Grants of Ecclesiastical Commissioners and Queen Anne's Bounty.-^
In compiling these tables the Committee has felt their great importance,
and the interest that must attach to them, as showing to how large an
extent these grants are continually drawing out the self-sacrifice and
liberality of those who are anxious to widen the work of the Church, and
to give it greater permanency. The statistical results as here ^ven have
never been presented in a similar form before, and their compilation has
involved a most laborious and minute manipulation of the Official Reports.
It will be observed that the form into which these gathered results have
been thrown exhibits for every individual Diocese for each year, and
throughout the whole period, what sum has been granted, and the corre-
spondmg amount of private benefaction which the grants have induced.
The table is also comprehensive of these results for the Dioceses coUec-
tively for each year, and for the whole period.
Return of Church Building and Restoration, Endowment of Bene-
fices, Building of Parsonage Houses, &c., for the Year 1885.— An
endeavour has been made to collect information in reference to the
money expended upon the building of new churches, the recon&tr\s.<^iv^'cw
486 glfafisfical Section {Explanation).
and restoration of existing buildings and permanent Mission chapels,
also the endowment of benefices, the building of parsonage houses, and
extension of burial grounds, during the year 1885.
The &ct8 represented in the accompanying table have been ascertained
in each case by direct communication with the Incumbent, and may so
far be accepted as complete and reliable. It must not, however, be
forgotten that owing to a variety of circumstances it is not possible to
render this statement in every respect complete. Many who have
liberally expended their money upon church building and restoration
and endowments prefer for private reasons to withhold information as
to the amount of their offerings, whilst on the other hand it will doubt-
less be found that many parishes in which this kind of work has been
carried on have not been noticed in consequence of the absence of any
official record of the work done.
Voluntary Funds devoted to Church Endowments, from 1860-1884.—
These statistics have been carefully extracted from annual reports made
to Parliament by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and Queen Anne*s
Bounty. It will be seen that the total result represents a sum close upon
four millions contributed as purely voluntary offerings to the endowment
of benefices within the given period, and yet this sum will not by any
means represent the full extent of voluntary g^ifts to this branch of
Church extension, as large amounts are given privately which do not
come under the cognisance of either of the before-mentioned corpora-
tions.
Biooesan Statistics. — This table describes the territory of each
Diocese, its population, number of Parishes «nd Ilui:al Deaneries, and
Clergy. The statistics of population have been taken from the Parlia-
mentary Report of the Census of 1881. The facts with regard to the
number of Parishes and Clergy have been gathered from the official
returns made by the Clergy to the Bishops, in compliance with the 53rd
Clause of the Act 1 & 2 Vict. c. 106. From the form into which these
returns have been brought, it will be seen that a distinction is made
between the non-resident Clergy who are entirely absent from their cures,
serving them by deputy, and those who are systematically discharging
their duties, and living in the parish or its immediate neighbourhood,
though not in the Glebe House.
Grants from Diocesan Funds and Church Building Societies. — By
reference to the Secretaries of the several organisations the Committee
has been able to give a statistical return of the grants made out of their
funds towards Church Building, Parsonage Houses, and Clerical and Lay
Agency.
Hew Parishes. — These returns practically represent the details of
active Church extension for a period of twelve years, and are taken from
an Official Return made to the House of Commons at the instance of Sir
John Mowbray.
Five Tears' Statement of the Income of the Principal Church Socie-
ties.— This financial statement has been prepared by direct reference to
each Society ; a form having been issued defining the basis on which the
return should be made.

Hospital Sunday. — The Statistical Statement representiDg the growth
of this moTement in the Metropolis and the Provinces has been compiled
with considerable care. The items hare in every case been collected from
official records, and by persons more or less conversant with local circum-
stances.
BETUBV OF BUILDINOS (OTHBB THAH AVCIEHT PABI8H AVD DISTRICT
CHTJBCHS8) USED FOB THE PUBLIC W0B8HIP OF THE CHITBCH OF
EBOLAHD.
In forming an estimate of the value of this return, it should be borne in mind
that it does not aim at a complete representation of the accommodation provided by
the Church of England for the public worship of the people, but seeks only to show
the extent of the provision made to minister to their spiritual wanta by systematic
services held in buildings (licensed or unlicensed) in addition to the services in
the parish churches.
It will be well to explain the character of the buildings excluded and included.
I. The buildings excluded are — (a) Ancient parish churches, and district
churches formed out of such parishes under any one of the church-building Acts,
(d) Chapels attached to public institutions, such as college chapels, public schools,
hospitals, military depdts, workhouses, and almshouses. From the &ct that such
chapels are almost universally thrown open to public use, and the services provided
by Clergy of the Church of England, they might have justly been included in this
return. They are not so, on the ground that it might be thought unfair for the Church
to lay exclusive claim to the provision which is not at all times made solely by the
contributions of Churchmen.
II. The buildings included are — (a) Proprietary chapels, and permanent chapels
of ease without a district, {b) Temporary churches, such as iron churches not
likely to be disused, except in case of being replaced by a permanent church, (o)
Mission-rooms, schoolrooms, or such like buildings, statedly, though not of necessity
exclusively, used for public worship. Under tMs heading (0) care has been taken
only to recognise such buildings as have been certified by the incumbent of the
parish in which they are located to be places systematically used for public worship.
The facts of this return have been tabulated from a form of inquiry sent to each
incumbent by the Rural Deans of each Diocese with the sanction of the Bishop.

REFERENCE SECTION.
Though the first and avowed object of this book is to record the actual
work of the Chnrch accomplished from year to year by its varied existing
agencies, it has been frequently suggested to the Committee that its use-
fulness would be very greatly increased by information furnished from
time to time with regard to methods of procedure and other matters
affecting the general and parochial organisations of the Church. In
compliance with this suggestion, it is the purpose of the Committee, as
opportunity presents itself, to afford information which may bo found
useful to the Clergy and Church workers permanently preserved for
reference.

IL GHUBGE PATRONAGE AND PABOGHIAL
ADMINISTRATIONS,
As the subject of Charcb Patronage and the rights of Parishioners in
reference to the appointment of the Parochial Incumbent has given
rise of late to some discussion, it has been thought well to state what is
the practice of other Churches in Communion with the Church of
England.
EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.
To do anything like justice to the subject of Church patronage and discipline would
require a treatise of greater length and research than the writer's time or abilities and
the requirements of the Yeab Book would warrant. Premising that both subjects have
been for years * simmering ' in the Church's mind, and that their present condition is
felt to be most unsatisfactory, he will endeavour to present as clear a view of the sub<
jccts as is consistent with necessary brevity.
He may remark in passing that in the case of the election of bishops to vacant
sees, there is one uniform rule and practice, and the primitive custom of allowing the
laity a voice in the selection of a chief pastor is duly observed. All the regularly
instituted Presbyters of the diocese and the licensed clerg)', who have officiated for
not less than two years continuously within its bounds, together with a lay represen-
tive from each properly constituted incumbency, have a vote, and no election is made
unless the candidate has a clear majority in both chambers.
When we come to pastoral charges a very different state of matters meets the in-
quirer. Canon xii. merely states that when a vacancy occurs • the right of presenta-
tion shall be exercised by the person or persons in whom the same is vested by the
constitution of the said Church, or whose right of patronage has been established to
the satisfaction of the bishop of the diocese, subject to appeal to the Episcopal
Bynod, at the instance of the person or persons claiming the right of patronage, or of
the preaeutee.'
^piscopai ^i^utrcl^ of ^coilant. 655
No less than six modes of patronage now exist in the Scottish Church. First we
have an appointment by the Vegtry alone; secondly, by Trustees alone ; thirdly, by
the joint action of Vegtry and Trusteen ; fourthly, by the Bishop ; fifthl}-, by Private
Patron ; and sixthly, by the Congregation directly. In one case, St. Paul's, Carubber's
Close, Edinburgh, the patronage is in the liands of the Cathedral Chapter.
The 1 'cstrles are variously appointed, and for different periods : some by the con-
gregation in public meeting assembled, some by the communicants over twenty-one
years of age, some by fellow-vestrymen, some for life, others for various terms of
years. In certain instances all the members retire together, in others they do so by
rotation.
The Trmtecs also hold their ofliccs by various tenures and appointments and for
var>ing periods and purposes. In very few instances are they chosen by the congre-
gation directly.
In the case of new charges, the appointment is a matter for arrangement between
the bishop and the duly accredited representatives of the flock, and la generally in-
corporated in the constitution which the Canons require before any charge can be
created into an incumbency.
In every instance the power of institution or collation rests with the bishop of the
diocese, who has an absolute veto on the appointment, subject to an appeal to the
Episcopal Synod. Canon xil. deals with the conditions and mode of institution to a
pastoral charge, and it will help southern readers to understand the state of matters
in Scotland on this point, if some of the sections of this Canon are quoted.
Section 3 says, * No bishop shall institute any clergyman to a pastoral charge in
his diocese, until such clergyman has produced Letters of Orders, showing that he has
been einscopally and canonically ordained, as well as the testimonials (according to
the Form Appendix No. xi.) required for institution, to be subscribed by two or more
Presbyters, and countersigned by the bishop of the diocese, in which they severally
sen'e, and shall have satisfied the bishop of his acquirements in literature and
theology.'
Section 4 : * If the candidate for institution shall have come from one of the
Churches enumerated in Canon xviii., section 1 (i.e. the English, Irish, Colonial, and
other branches of the same Churches, and the Protestant Episcopal Church in America),
and shall have resided in Scotland for more than three months without holding a
licence from one of the bishops of this Church, ho must present, not only the proper
testimonials from his Mother Church, but likewise a testimonial, satisfactory to the
bishop, from at least one clergyman, or two male communicants, to whom he has been
personally known during the period of his residence in Scotland.'
Section 5 requires subscription * to the Thirty- nine Articles,* and 'due obedience
to the Canons of this Church.*
Section 6 reads, * Every presentation shall be disposed of by the bishop within
three months from the date of liis receipt thereof in a writing under his hand, the
presentee or patron being allowed an appeal to the Episcopal Synod in case of a re-
fusal on the part of a bishop to institute the presentee,*
Section 7 : • If no presentation to a vacant charge shall be made within six calendar
months next after the vacancy has taken place, or within six calendar months after
the bishop has refused to accept the presentation already made, or, in the case of an
appeal, within three calendar months of the date of a decision thereon by the Epis-
copal Synod, the right of presentation shall, for that time only, lapse to the bishop of
the diocese, whose appointment shall be binding on all the members of the congrega-
tion.'
Section 8 : * If in any case, in which the right of presentation rests with the bishop,
a charge remain vacant for six months, the appointment shall lapse to the College of
Bishops.'
Canon xlv. deals with the subject of appeals to the Episcopal Synod generally,
giving full and minute directions as to the times, and ways, of making, hearing, and
disposing of them.
But no si)ecial reference is made to cases under Canon xii.
At the last meeting of the Representative Ghnroh Gooncil a model constitution
was adopted, and has since been sanctioDad bj tlya IMMBBlt JUIW^ "ft^NSp^^K^ ^^cX^

part. Old congregations need pay no attention to it if so disjKjsed. It mnst be year?,
therefore, before it can have any appreciable effect on existing practice, even were all
ficw charget to adopt it. In the matter of presentation it leaves things exactly as it
found them. For though a strenuous effort was made in the Council to remedy the
felt evils of the present system, or rather want of system, and to secure the same
uniformity in appointments to pastoral charges as there is in episcopal elections, the
attempt faile<l, and so Ciinon xii. still stands as the rule on this point— a rule vague
enough to cover any and every conceivable mode of election which the wit or pen-er-
sity of man or of a liock can devise. It will thus be seen that, although as an abstract
matter of right the people luive a voice in the selection of an Incumbent, it is only
indirectly that they can, in the vast majority of cases, make that voice heard. Of
course, instances do occur where the congregation objects to the appointment made by
the Vestry or other patrons, and insists upon its own liberty of choice. The grounds
of complaint are as various as the modes of stating them, but in every case the objec-
tions come before the usual nominators as a court of tirst instance, and, if necessary,
are carried by appeal to the Bishop of the Diocese, and from him to the Episcopal
Synod.
With regard to ' getting rid of an unacceptable Incumbent * no provision at
present exists, though many iinautJiorised plans axe frequently tried, to the annoyance
and disgust of all right-thinking people. Canon xliv. provides certain legal modes of
proceeding against a man for heresy or immorality, with an appeal to the Episcopal
Synod. But these have been found in practice to be exceedingly troublesome and
expensive, and do not touch many cases, such as those of an infirm, a ' cranky/ or a
very foolish incumbent, where the interference of a higher authority is imperatively
necessary for the benefit alike of the congregation, the Church at large, and the
clergyman himself. The subject has been lately discussed by * Senex ' in the colomns
of the Scottish Guardia?i, and solid reasons advanced for speedy action. It most be
admitted that there exists everywhere a very strong feeling in favour of tenderness
towards the rights or alleged rights of incumbents, with a disposition to ignore or
overlook the rights of the liocks, a tendency to forget that the clergy exist for the
benefit of the Church, and that the Church was not created simply for them. This is
one of the many subjects which must engage the attention of our next General Synod,
the meeting of which has been long anxiously expected and desired by an increasing
number of zealous Churchmen. Most of our constitutions specify certain offences, for
which the incumbent can be proceeded against. Any man who ceases to be a member
of the Scottish Church, refuses canonical obedience to his bishop, or who has been
deposed, is regarded as having ipso facto vacated his charge, and the patrons may at
onie proceed to elect a successor. We have no parochial councils in the strict sense
of the word, though in a loose and general way vestries may be regarded as such.
Their authority in the administration of parish matters is not defined by any canon
or general law. It varies in ditlerent places, being partially regulated by the consti-
tution in some charges, while in others — and tliey the great majority — it is left to the
wisdom or folly of the priest and his flock. In one constitution now lying before him,
tlic compiler finds that the Vestry, in addition to the general control of all matters
n'lating to the Church, collecting alms, letting and assigning seats, &c., are empowered
to • appoint the hours of the two Church Sunday Services required by Canon xxxi.'
Another section provides that if three fourths of the Vestry are dii-satisfied with the
cmduct of Divine Service, and the incumbent l)e unable to satisfy them of the
n^asonableness of what is said or done, or conscientiously tocompl}' with their request
for a return to former practice, he shall resign his office ; and if he do not within six
weeks, it shall be declared void, and a successor appointed.
In another charge the constitution provides that if the advanced age or other in-
firmities of the incumbent render it necessary, the Vestry shall apjwint an assistant,
or assistant and sncccssor, paying his salary out of the Church funds, or they may
arrange with the incumbent as to salary as wuU as assistant. But no one shall be so
appointed without the concurrence of the incumbent, when he is legally capable of
givhig or withholding it.
The salary is also generally fixed at the time of the appointment, subject to aug-
mentation or diminution according to the stjite of the funds. Even the Chairmanship
of the Vestry does not always ex-o^cio belong to the incumbent, but may be held by
certain members'named in the constitution, or by a layman appointed pro hae vice.

Ah to irhat the people maj interfere with, aiul nhat thej Toay not, there U thus
no general rule or even custom, and the very widest Oiveniitr of views and prsctices
prevails. Much— all— depends upon the mntiiaJ good feeling and relations of pastor
and people, who in the loose state of the law have it in their power to make or mar
each other's work in many little ways. It certainly seems desirable, without any undue
limitation of la; or clerical rights, that some broad principles and general niles should
bo laid down, so as to lessen as far as possible the friction which must always exist to
a greater or less estent in a body situated as is the Scottish Church.
CHURCH OF IRELAND.
Church PfttroBftge.— The bishops are elected (according to certain rales, and
subject to amiroval by bench of bishops) by the diocesan synods, which consist ot
the beneiiced and licensed clergy and of a fixed number of male lay members of the
Chnrcti who are 21 years of age and communicanti. The Primato is elected by the
bishops out of theii own number, who must meet for the purpose, as proxy votes are
not allowed.
Incumbents of parishes are appointedby Boards of Kominalion. These Boards
consist of ' the bishop, three diocesan nominators, and three parochial nominator^.'
The diocesan are two clergymen and one layman duly qualified, elected by the
diocesan synods— in some cases by the synods daring session, in some by conjoint
voting of clerical and lay synodsmen, in others by separate voting, clergy voting for
clergy, and lay for lay ; in some all proceedings carried on in synixl, in others election
by voting papers sent out to the clerical and lay synodsmen from synod.
The parochial nominators are elected by the general Veslry of the pariiih, which
consists of vestrymen who declare in writing that they are members of the Church of
Ireland, 21 years of age, and arc either owners of property in the parish ot yearly
vidue of 101. at the least, residents in same, or accustomed member:) of the congrega*
tion of the church of the parish.
At the meeting of the Board the procedure varies. It may elect one clergyman
inPriest'sOrdersand otherwise fitted and willing to undertake tbe(;urc,and return hi*
name to the bishop; or it may choose a clergyman properly qualified, and if ha
signifies his willingness afterwards, return his name to the bishop ; or it may choose
two or more clergymen, qualified as above, to whom in succession the cure shall be
offered, and when one of them signifies his willingness to accept, have his name
returned to the bishop as the' person nominated by the Board. The Bishop shall
forthwith institute the clergyman nominated as above prescribed, if satisfied of his
fitness, or, in case he may decline to do so, he shall give to him, if so required, his
reasons in writing for so declining. The clergyman eo rejected, or one-half of the
Board of Nomination, iuclading two ot the three parochial nominators, with the
consent of the clergyman so rejected, may appeal against such rejection to the Court
of the General Synod. — (Constitution, cap. iv. sec. KG.) ' A clergyman duly admitted
to a cure shall be deemed incumbent thereof, and siiall not be removable without his
consent, unless upon the decision of the Court of the General Synod, and it shall be
lawful for such incumbent, when circaoiatancei require it, and a suffic ent main-
tenance can in the judgment of the Bishop be gujaranteed, to nominate for his
approval a clergyman to act as cniate-assistant. and such curate-assistant, duly
nominated and licensed shall not be removed from his curacy without bis own
consent, unless upon the decision ot the bishop or npon the avoidance ot tho
benefice.' — (Constitution, cap. Iv. sec. 23.)

amoant of its snbscriptioDs, the stipend (payable quarterly) of the clergyman ihall be
liable to an equivalent reduction. No actual loss, however, is suffered by the ol6igyinaD»
but only the inconvenience of slightly deferred payment, the dednotion twin, any
quarter's stipend being made good at the cloie of the year oat of another fand, the
Supplemental, on which it is an early charge, vis. the second. This folly aeoures the
independence of the clergyman, unless the case be one in which the diooesan oooncils
(joint) think this security should be withdrawn.
The Select Vestry is the body which dlschaiges the duty of a parochial ooandl.
The Select Vestry consists of the incumbent and his curates (if any), the churchwardens,
and not more than 12 other persons to be elected by the registered vestrymen annnally.
The incumbent is ex-offioio chairman ; in his absence the curate, or in his absence one
of the churchwardens. The Vestry has control and charge of all parochial charity
and trust funds not excluded from their control by the trusts on which Uie same are
held. Amongst those exempted, are the offertories in church* which are at the
disposal of the minister and churchwardens, but practically Uiey come into the
general parish accounts. The Select Vestiy provides the requisites for Divine Service.

all church and parish officers and servants ; no change in the strnctore, ornaments,
or monuments of any church, whether by introducti<m, alteration, or removal, la to be
made without consent of incumbent and Select Vestry, and approved by the bishop.
It is to matters of this kind that the powers of the Select Vestiy mUy, and each
diocesan synod defines the powers and duties of the Vestiy, Select Vest^, and the
churchwardens in all matters not prescribed by the Cfeneial tHatutes of the
Church.
The Select Vestiy has nothing to do with the ordering of Divine Service— «11 this
is in the discretion of the incumbent, subject to the laws of the Choich. It would
be competent for an incumbent legally to decline sanctioningthe a|]pointiiient of an
organist, for instance, or the use of an organ, and the oiganist is under his direction,
and not under that of the Vestry.
Private Patroxiage.— Where any benefactor or benefactors propose to endow a
parish, it is competent for the Board of Nomination to arrange in what manner the
right of presentation shall be exercised for the future, and to vest the right
acconlingly, provided that such arrangement shall be approved by the bishop, by the
Diocesan Council, by at least four members of the Board in addition to the bishop,
including not less than two of the parochial nominators, and by the Vestry,
THE PAROCHIAL SYSTEM IN THE AMERICAN
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Requests have several times been received for information on this subject, and the
\\Titer avails himself of this opportunity of giving it, with the sanction, and indeed
at the instance, of the Editor of the Yeab-Book.
The first point to be noted is Church Patronage. There is no such thing in the
American Church as individual patronage, in the sense of presentation to benefices.
The parish priest is chosen by the representatives of the congregation. In some of
the States, notably in New England, the parish proper is a l^al oorporation, electing
its own members. In Connecticut, the oldest diocese, any baptiaed male of fall age,
not a member of any other ecclesiastical society (of any sort or name), desiring to
become a member of a parish, lodges with the parish clerk or other officer a written
declaration of his desire to become a member of it, in which dedaiation he is to
express liis attachment to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. This declaration is read at the annual meeting of the parish
(usually in Easter week), and, unless a majority of the members present xefose their
consent, the applicant becomes a member on the adjournment of that meeting, and
is entitled to vote in any fatore parish meeting.
Membership in a parish is terminated : (1) by death ; (2) by removal from the
spiritual cure of the rector and the territorial limits of the parish (which is nsnally
the town or city — and where there are several parishes they cover tiie territory Jointly) ;
(3) by written notice of withdrawal ; (4) by repulsion from the Holy Conunimion ;
Episcopal ^^itrc^ of ^xnctica. 659
(5) by act of the parish itself, a two-thirds vote being necessary, after fine notice,
and for any cause recognised as such by the statutes of the State. The rector is a
member of the parish ex-ofHcio, and presides.
In the State of New York, and many others, the members of the congregation,
recognised as such by the rector, and contributing statedly to its support, elect at
Easter a Vestry, who, with the rector, constitute the corporation.
Other uses obtain, but these two indicate in substance the general form of paro-
chial organisation ; and the duty of calling a rector and pro\iding for his support
rests upon the parish or the Vestry.
This is, indeed, a form of lay patronage, but the presentation is not vested in any
individual, but in the parish or its representatives. Individuals may have more or
less influence in shaping the action of the parish, and often they have too much
influence, and that of a merely secular sort. But it is influence, not authority.
In all parishes there is a Vestry, usually consisting of a small number of persons,
say ten or twelve, who manage its ordinary affairs from Easter to Easter. By law in
most dioceses, and by custom in others, the rector is chairman of the Vestry.
The bishop has more or less of influence, but no canonical control in the selection
of a rector, and he cannot refuse to institnte as rector a clergyman legally chosen,
if he be in good standing. This must be determined by the letters of transfer from
the clergyman's former diocesan, which cannot be relused without an ecclesiastical
trial. It is the responsibility of the bishop to see that the person chosen is a
qualified minister of this Church.
The rector of a parish cannot be removed therefrom so long as he is in good
standing without his own consent. But if differences arise between him and hia
parish which cannot be amicably adjusted he may resign the rectorship. If he does
not resign, or if his resignation be not accepted, then the case may be brought before
the bishop and the standing committee of the diocese, who have the power of
removing him or of determining that he remain. Removal involves no reflection on
the character or standing of the clergyman, but only determines bis relation to that
particular parish.
The Vestry, and indeed the congregation, or parish as a whole, have no rightful
jurisdiction in spiritual matters. In these the priest has independence of action,
except as his transgression of Church law may render him amenable to the bishop,
acting paternally by his counsel, or judicially in ways safeguarded in the interest
of the clergy. The lay ofBcers of a parish deal only, in the normal working of the
system, with temporal business. The paridh priest may organise lay work in the
parish, and it is properly done only under his authority. Such w^ork is usually
sustained by the voluntary contributions of the congregation or by special endow-
ments, of which the Vestry may or may not be trustees.
The parochial system of this Church was not created as the result of deliberation ;
it grew out of the conditions of an early Church life, and, on the principle that
' presentation goes with support,* it seems the only system practicable here. It is
susceptible of modifications, and in some respects is felt largely, to need them, in the
interest of people and priests. For both need to be protected, not from one another,
but from the xmdue control of worldly men and merely secular influences. The
right and duty of the bishop in the appointment of clergy to cures is not adequately
recognised ; the tenure of office of efficient clergymen is neither so secure nor so
permanent as it should be ; their support is often very inadequate, and there is a
tendency to parochial selfishness. But the remedies for these evils are mainly of a
moral rather than a canonical nature, and they diminish in proportion as the Church
increases in spiritual vitality and energy. The intelligence, religiousness, and
loyalty of the laity have to be trusted, and as a rule they may be. Legislation can
only remove some hindrances to the spiritual growth of the Clmrch. The increase of
endowments, which may reasonably be lookei for as the oonntry grows older and
richer, will do much to promote Church growth and rastenta^ont bat probablj thtt
endowment of the diocese rather than of the pozidi irfmld;! ' '^ " ** "^

Since the establishment of this Society in 1818, £930,428 have been
raised and expended in 7560 gprants towards Churches in England and
Wales ; thereby helping to provide nearly Two Miluon additional seats.
£6,825 voted in 1886.
In addition to this £18,598 have been raised by the Society towards
providing 526 Mission Buildings in various parts of the country. £590
voted from this Fund in 1886.
Having regard to the vast and unprecedented increase of our popu-
lation (upwards of 300,000 in each year !) ; to the overcrowding in our
large towns; to the rapid way in which huge suburban districts are
formed ; to the lamentable growth of sin in all its hideous forms, and
of unbelief and indifference to religion; and to the inability of the
inhabitants to provide the means of erecting their own Churches — the
importance of sustaining and extending the good work undertaken by
this Society is obvious.
Church people are very earnestly asked to aid this most important
branch of the Home Mission Work of the Church of England by con-
tributing Donations or Subscriptions to the Funds of the Society either
for (1) Permanent Churches, or for (2) Mission Buildings.

I
THE SOCIETY'S JUBILEE YEAR.
At Easter, 1887, the Auditioxal Curates' Society will have completed
THE 50th tear of ITS WORK AS THE HOME MiSSION SOCIETY OF THE ChURCH OF
England.
Since the establishment of the Society in 1837, it has made 20,601 grants to
poor parishes. The total sum thus expended through the agency of the Society
amounts to no less than £2,101,557. -,
This year the Society is enabling 756 Additional Clergy to work in 679
parishes among a population of about 6,000,000.
But while the Committee have been enabled during the last three years,
by the steady progress of the General Fund, to make no less than 160 new
Grants, they still have to deplore their inability to extend similar help to poor
and populous parishes such as the following : —
No. 1.-— Popolation 8,000. No Curate. No. 8.— FopulatioQ 5,600. NoCurato.
No. 3. „ 10,000. One Curate. No.l2. „ 11,000. OneCurate.
No. 4. „ 8,500. No Curate. No. 13. „ 7,600. No Curate.
No. 6. „ 11,000. OneCurate. No. 19. „ 6,000. No Curate.
A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS REMAIN ON THEIR LIST OF * UnAIDED
Cases ' from parishes in which, for lack of Clergy to take thi liad in
ORGANISATION, THE WORK OF THE ChURCH IS WELL-NIGH AT A STANDSTILL.
The Committee desire to urge upon English Churchmen the claims of this
Homo Mission Work, which, as the work of the Church, as the work of Christ,
is the most powerful of all agencies for raising our people to a higher level,
spiritual, moral, and social, for promoting the glory of God and the welfare of
our Church and nation.
TJiey earnestly hope that in this the Society's Jubilee Year its regular
supporters will make some special effort to increase their contributions, and
those who have not helped the work hitherto will now take their part in so
extending it that it shall leave no portion of the need unsupplied. .
Contributions will be thankfully received at the Society s Office. Cheques,

Tnis Fund was institnted by Bishop Tait in 18G3, as a means of dealing
with the great and growing Spiritual wants of the Diocese of London. It was
originally intended as a movement to last for ten years only, but at the expira-
tion of that period, under the Episcopate of Bishop Jackson, it was made
perpetual to meet the annual increase of the population of the Diocese, which
continued to advance at nearly 40,000 souls in every year. Its objects are as
follows :
I. Missionary Clergy.
II. Scripture Readers, Mission Women, and other Lay Agents.
III. Clergymen's Residences.
IV. Schools.
V. Mission Buildings or School Churches.
YI. Assistance towarids Endowment in Special Cases.
VII. Building of Churches.
VIII. Such other objects, if any, as it may from time to time be found
desirable to promote, for strengthening the work of the Church,
and for the more effectual evangelisation of the population of the
Metropolis.
From I8G3 to the end of November 1886 the total receipts of the Fund
had been jC757,912 be, 7d,y and \i% payments, within the same period, had been
as follows: £ ,. a.
1. For Missionary Clergy 124,096 16 O
2. Scripture Readers and liayAgents 60,336 10 O
3. Clergymen's Beeidenoes 22,960 7 2
4. Schools ... ... ... ... ••• ... ... 60,028 16 6

7. Building of Churches 226,272 9 2
8. Local Special Objects named by the Donors 98,724 1 1
£670,860 1 10
Very large sums have been raised locally, to meet grants made by the Fund and
with such assistance, besides supplying from year to year a large number ol
^f issionary Clergy, Scripture Readers, Deaconesses, Parochial Mission Women,
and other male and female Lay Agents, and assisting in the erection of many
Mission Buildings, Parsonages, and Schools, it has made Grants in aid of the
erection of 145 permanent Churches, of which 1 35 were built as new Parochial
Charches, to almost all of which legal Districts have been assigned, with endow-
ments granted by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The other 11 Churches
have either been built as Chapels of Ease or to replace Churches which have
been pulled down.
As the population of the Diocese continues to grow at the rate of nearly
40,000 in each year, funds are continually required to meet the new Spiritual
wants thus arising, and the Committee of the Fund urgently plead for continued
charitable assistance in order to support an expenditure of at least £20,000 per
annum, which is necessary to prevent the rapid increase of Spiritual destitution
in the Diocese of London.

The purpose of Uiis Sodety ia to make the principles of the Ohoroh of Bngland, her doctrine, diaci|dine, and
tUUui better known npon the OoaUnent of Barope, and throughont the world.
It consists of English, Irish, Boottish, Colonial, and American Chnxehmen. It will not willingly go one step
beyond, or fall short by one step of, the teaching of the Chutoh of Kngland. Whatever eflEeot it may hope to hare
npon foreign minds it will endeavoor to prodnoe by a straightforward exhibition of the pvincipleB of the English
Onuroh, not by ignoring the differences which exist between oonelves and other bodies of Christiana.
There is a PrimitiTe School in Germany, Swltaerland, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, and Scandlnaria, and
there are in South America many who have learnt to disbeliere in the Papal theory of Unity. With the f orm<>r
the Sode^ is co-operating ; to the latter it desires to point out what it belieireB to be the more excellent way.
Its objeot is not to proselytise indiriduals, but to help towards the reformation and reriTifloation of Chmchee and
Oommnnitiee.

The objccta of thU Society are to aid the nstire Reformed Episcopal Churches in Spafn and Portugal in the
faithful preaching of the Gkispel, and generally to help and encourage them in the great work of ETangelisatLon
and Reform in which they are engaged.
The people are eager to listen to the glad tidings of the Gospel, and tlie otienings for Evangelistic work are
very numerous. But oiur brethren in Spain and Portugal are unable to take adyantage of the open doors which
the Lord has placed in their way, as it is only with great difQculty that tbey maintain their own position. Tbry
are few, and poor, and weak— a handful in the midst of many enemies. They are passing through the ordeal
from which we emerged 300 years ago. We are now free from persecution, and enjoy the pricelciis privilege of
an open Bible. Surely it is a small thing for our Saviour to adc us to make a little sacrifice in order to help those
who are working faithfully and bravely for the salvation of their beloved land.
The ABCHBISHOF 07 DUBIiIN says: 'Having twice visited Spain and Portugal for the
porpoee of testing the reality of the work. I know it to be a genuine one.'
FUNDS ARB VERY X7RGBNTLY EBDED, and the Committee appeal most earnestly for ^<^^acf^

THE SOCIETY'S MISSIONARY WORK
Is carried on in ONE HUNDRED AND SEyENTT-SEVEN Languagres and Dialects.
HELP is given to the Church Missionary Society, London Missioniu^ Society, Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, Baptist Missionary Society, Wesleyan
Missionary Society, China Inland Mission, the Presbyterian Missionary Societies, Paris
Kvangelical Missions, Gossner Missionary Society, Basle Missionary Society, American Board v(
Commissioners for Foreign Missions, Rhenish Missionary Society, and numerous othcrn.
In Roman Catholic countries it is still necessary to expend considerable sums, until tlte
time arrives when the reviyed zeal of the Protestant Chnrches in these countries shall prep^ire
them to take their full share in the spread uf the pure Gospel by the press.
Special attention is asked to some of the modes in which the work of the Society is done,
and to facts which illustrate its wide lutefulness.
MISSION PRESSES. — Every year the whole Foreign Mission Field receives lielp in various
ways, and Missionaries of all Evangelical Churches testify that their usefulness is lai^ely
dependent upon the activity of the Printing Presses, which are entirely, or in great part,
sustained by the grants from the Society's funds.
In China, Japan, India, Burmah, the Indian Archipelago, Africa, and Syria, tiiirty-eigbt
Branch or Corresponding Societies and Mission Presses are thus directly aided.
CONTINENTAL WORK.— On the Continent of Europe a Urge sum is spent every year in
Fnmce, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Austria,
Russia, Greece, and Turkey, in aid of the production and distribution of a Protestant Evan-
gelical Literature.
WHAT THE SOCIETY DOES AT HOME.—At Home during the current year Libraries
have been granted at greatly reduced price, and in some cases entirely free, to 403 Districts,
Parishes, and Congregations; 614 Sunday and Bay Schools; 11 Workmen's Clubs and Coffee
Rooms; 64 Hospitals, Union Houses, Prisons, and Asylums; 14 Soldiers' and Sailors' Institutions.
180 Ministers on Ordination, Evangelists, and to Colporteurs, £10 Library Grants on payment
of £3. Ids,; 67 Colleges and Teachers — grants at half-price; 33 Emigrants.
Since 1832 no less than 40,713 Libraries have been thus granted, and the Committee feel
justified in believing that the circulation of so largo a number of healthy religious and enter-
taining books cannot but have been a great help to the work of Ministers of the Gospel.
Tract Circulation, chiefly in Great Britain, has amounted during the year to 26,861, -340
Copies. A very largo number of tliese have been granted free, and the remainder at half
subscriber's price — i.e., 20*. worth for 7s. 6rf.
EMIGRANTS CARED FOR.— To Emigrants leaving their native land nearly 29,659
packages of good reading have been distributed from London, Liverpool, Plymouth, Greenock, &c.
MISSIONARY FUNDS.— The total amount received from subscriptions and other con-
tributions, part parent for grants, dividends, and legacies, is £28,702. IBs. lOd., the whole of
this sum being available for tbe missionary objects of the Society. The missionary expenditure
has amounted to £47,722. 18*. Zd. The amount of grants thus exceeds the missionary receipts
by £19,019. 19*. 5(£., which has been supplied from the trade funds, which have also borne the
entire cost of management both of the business and missionary departments.
HOW THE FUNDS ARE USED.-AU Contribntions are devoted to the
Missionary Work of the Society without any deduction whateyer, the whole cost
of management and administration being charged upon the Trade Funds.
The Committee, in humble dependence on God, desire that the work, requiring large means
to maintain, should be vigorously carried on, and extended where tbe demand for its extension
arises. They, therefore, with confidence, appeal for support to all those who are striving for
the cxt^ension of the Redeemer's Kingdom.

The following extracts from the Rules and Constitation will best explain the objects uf
I his Society: —
IL The purpose of this Society shall be to present the Church of England in a conciliator}-
attitude towards those who regard themselves as cmtside her pale, so as to lead towards the
corporate reunion of all Christians holding the doctrines of the Erer> Blessed Trinity and the
Incarnation and Atonement of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Society, though it cannot support
any scheme of comprehension compromising the three Creeds, or the Episcopal constitution of
the Church, will be prepared to advocate all- reasonable libei*ty in matters not contravening the
Church's Faith, Order, or Discipline.
III. The action of the Society will comprehend : —
1. Special private prayer for Unity as the first duty of all who desire Reunion.
2. Special public Services with Sermons on Christian Unity, and the frequent use of
the ' Prayer for Unity ' from the Office of the Accession in the Prayer Book.
3. The removal of all defects and abuses in the practical working of the Church's
system which may justly give offence to Nonconformists.
4. Lectures on the history, doctrines, and formularies of the Church of lEIngland, and
the circulation of books and papers likely to advance the purpose of the Society.
5. The promotion of freer social intercourse between Churchmen and Nonconformists.
6. The appointment of Committees to arrange for Conferences with Nonconformists,
in furtherance of the purpose of the Society.
A Series of Occasional Papers have been published, at prices varying from 2d. to 6rf., which
maybe obtained of Messrs. Wklu Gardner, 2 Paternoster Buildings, E.C.; or through any
bookseller; or at the Office of the Society.
The Minhmtm Subscription to the Society ia 2s. 6d. ; but, as a great ejrpense is incurred i«
issuing the Occasional and other Papers of the Society, it is hoped that fe^v will confine the ainonaf
of their Annual Contributions to the minimum.
Any who doslro further information or to become Members are requested to address the

mriYERSITlES Mission TO CENTRAL AFRlCi
rnillS MISSION consists of a Bishop, Charles Alan Smythics, D.D., lU
JL . English and 3 African Clergy, 28 Laymen, and 14 Ladies — GO in all.
The funds are sent out to the Bishop and managed hy him.
Slaves released by British cruisers are received, housed, and trained in
the island of Zanzibar.
Mission work of the ordinary kind is scattered over some 25,000 square
miles on the E. side of Central Africa, between 5^ and 15° S. lat.
The Catechumens, Baptised, and Connnunicants together number about
1,500. In the Nurseries, Schools, Homes and Workshops, some 850 Children
are entirely supported; other Africans under the care of the Mission, and
partly supported by it, number 800.
The Mission is from live principal centres, spreading the first influences
and leaven of civilization and Christianity ; perhaps its most important effort
is on the Eastern shores of Lake Nyassa, where the Charles Janson, Church
Steamer, has been built and is now at work. This Lake is a largo Slave-
yieldmg region.
The cost of the work in 1885 was £15,500; tliis included the support of tho
Staff and the various Schools, the completion of tlie Steamer, the buildings,
and every sort of outgoing both at home and abroad.
It cost about seven per cent, last year to raise the funds,

SPECIAL APPEAL.
The friends of the Soldier are earnestly appealed to for funds for the continued 8api^>ort of the
Society. Ninety Scripture Readers are actively employed in the Army at home and abroad.
With such unquestionable testimony on all biden to the beneficial influence of the Reader in
camp, in barrack, and in hospital, we cannot come to any other conclusion than that the Lord's
1 dossing is resting in no small degree upon this Institution ; »ind with this conviction deeply im-
pressed on our hearts, we lay this matter before all who can feel for a soldier's trials, a Mldicr'8
temptations, a soldier's devotion to his Queen and country, but above all for a soldier's everlastii^
weliaro, confident —nay, more than contidcnt, assured- -that He will cause unknown^sapporten
to spring up upon the right hand and upon the left, and stimulate old friends to fresh eseitMnit.

THEKE are a quarter of a million of British Merchant Seamen,
besides foreign sailors in our ports, for whose spiritoal lustenanee when afloat the
parochial system makes no proyision. Another quarter of a million of fishermen, boatmen,
light-ship keepers, &c., are inadequately cared for ; and two-thirds of onr ships of war are
without chaplains. For these, THE MISSIONS TO SEAMEN SOCIETY has 72 Hon.
Chaplains, 2 Clerical Superintendents, 24 Chaplains, 41 Scripture Readezs, and 5 paid Lay
Helpers working afloat in 60 seaports at home and abroad, who are fhmished with 10 minion
yachts in open roadsteads, with boats in harbours, with 19 ehnrehes and institutes in rirtrs
and docks, and with 20 mission -rooms.
The shipping in many other important seaports at home and abroad are destitiite of
religious ministrations ; and several seaboard clergymen urgently request help, for which funds
are much wanted.
736 Offertories were receired in 1885, making the ineome £23,807.

The object of this Society, established 1835, is to evangelise the masses of the Metropolis,
by carrying the Gospel to every house, garret, and cellar, and beseeching men to be reconciled to
God through Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The number of missionaries is now 464.
Every missionary visits once a month about 650 families, or 2,900 persons. They also meet
constantly about half a million working men in factories and elsewhere.
Special missionaries have been appointed to various classes ; amongst others, to the bakers,
night and day cabmen, omnibus men, canal boatmen, soldiers, sailors, and the criminal classes
besides foreigners from all parts of the world.

THE object of this Society is to enable the Clergy and Laity of tbe Church of England to co-operate in rescuing
from vidons surroundings the Orphans and Destitute Children mci with in every Pariah, and especially in
larg-^ towns.
The Committee, in considering applications for the admission of children into the Society's Homes, make a
point of not accepting any cose which could more properly bo dealt with by the existing machinery already
lirovidcd by the Legislature, such as the Poor Law and School Boardis. Tboy ure aU»o most careful to avoid
relieving unworthy parents of their responsibility, and therefore invariably give the preference to children who
have neither parents nor relations Able to provide for tbcm.
It has been decided to adopt, where practicable, the family rather than the institutional life, by boarding
out children of tender years under guarantees of their proper maintenance and education in the principles of the
Church of England.
Until the present movement, the Church of England, unlike tho<M outside her communion, had no oeutrul
orgaiiimtion for the rescue and care of destitute children.
The voting system is not adopted; each case is thoroughly invcsUgateil, Rn<l the most deserving have the
preference.
Seventeen ITomes in different ports of the country are now open, viz. :—
Boys' Homes: Upper Clapton ; Ashdon, Essex, (Post Town, Linton, Cambs.); Stsndon Farm; and

THE ROYAL HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST, founded by H.R.H. Om
late DUKE OF KENT, in the year 18U, is the oldest Consumption Hospital in England.
For upwards of seventy years its work has been carried on in the midst of the danselj
populated district comprised by the parishes of Islington, Clerkenwell, St Luke*8, and Sbofc-
tiitx:h, and it has thus been of the greatest possible benefit to many thousands of poor people,
CLOSE TO THEIR OWN HOMES. '^
The New Wing, ooened by H.R.H. Thb Pbikciss Bb^tbicb, on March 15, 1886, provides
accommodation for eighty In-patients.
The increase of accommodation provided by the New Wing will entail an additional annual
expenditure of upwards of £2,000.
To meet this increased outlay, additional Annual Subseribers are
urgently needed.
Donations and Subscriptions will be very thankfully received by the Treasurer, the Hon. P^son
C. Gltn, or by the Bankers, Messrs. Gltn, Mills, Cubroi & Co., at 67 Lombtfd Street ; or
they may be sent to the Secretary at the Hospital.
Annual Subscribers of £3. 3«. and Donors of £31. 10«. are entitled to recommend one
In patient and four or eight Out-patients per annum.
Annual Subscribers of £1. Is. and Donors of £10. 10«. are entitled to recomni«nd six
Out-patients per annum. JOHN J. AUSTEN, Secretary.

The Hospital, which has 63 beds, was founded for the reception and treatment of respectable
poor women and gentlewomen in reduced circumstances, suffering from those many distressing
diseases to which tho female sex is liable, irrespective of their social position. It is upon
these classes that many of tho misfortunes resulting from ill-health most heavily fall.
Their homes are altogether unsuited for tlie performance of a critical operation, and they cannot
there have the special nursing and care which their condition demands. It is therefore obvious
that the work of this Charity in restoring mothers, wives, and daughters to that healtli upon
which the maintenance of families so frequently depends, is one of real value and importance.
The Hospital is without an^ %T\do>wt(\^T\\^ ^^d w ^r^wla^ t\eed of Annual Subscrifytions.

35 FINSBURY SQUARE. Instituted 1807.
Patron : HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES, K.G.
The object of this Charity is to relieve sach poor persons, recommended bj GoTemocs, as
are afflicted with ropture and havA not the pecuniary means of obtaining anigical aMutuice ;~
by proTidinff, under surgical direction, trusses for every kind of raptore; — by fomishiBg
bandaaes and necessary instruments for all cases of prolaptni ; — ^by performing eTery nsc— ry
opemtion ; — ^and by administering sargical aid promptly.
The importance of this Charity to the sufi^ng poor of both lezes and all agen may be
gathered ftom the fact that over 420,000 have been already relieved (about 9,000 each
year recently). The proportion of ai^ravated cases to simple cases is larger than it vbs
formerly ; hence more expensive Instraments are required, greater cost is entailed, and increased
Funds are needed.
When a pulpit is granted for the purpose of advocating the cause of the Charitj, ahooldthe
oollection amount to five guineas, the Cieiffvman or Minister of the Church or Cnnpel, for the
time being, shall have the privileges of a Governor for fifteen years, and be allowea to reecm-
mend two patients annually. Should the collection amount to ten guineas, the Preacher shall be
allowed the same privileges ; and should the collection — exclusive of annual BubeeripUons and
donations of five guineas and upwards— exceed ten guineas, the privileges to be pcoportionablj
increased for every additional five guineas.
An annual subscription of one guinea, or a donation of ten guineas, entitles to four letters of
recommendation, a donation of five guineas, to two letters annually for life. Snbacriptioas and
Donations will be thankfully received by the Society's Bankers, Lloyds, Baknbtts, k

St. John's House (which is now under the management of the All Saints Sisters, the
Council having requested the Sisterhood to undertake the work) is actively engaged in nursing
the sick. It owes its existence to a desire generally felt in 1847 for a better class of nurses
than had hitherto been common. Since that date St. John's House has afforded a systematic
education and hospital training for nurses, through the agency of Christian women of a higher
grade in life. The work has been carried on in London at King's College Hospital, Charing
Cross Hospital, and the Maternity Home, in the English Hospital at Paris, the Children's
Hospital at Nottingham, in Private Families, among the poor in London and the country,
and with the British Army.
Medical, Surgical, Monthly Nurses, and Masseuses can be obtained by application, pereon-
' ally or by letter, to the Sister Superior. Applications for the Training of Nurses op of Lady
Pupils may also be addressed to her,

Tbe Premiums are bo moderate that at most affea an Aasnrance of £1,300 or £1,250 may be lecnred
from the first for the same yearly p^ment which would elsewhere aasnre (with profits) £1,000 only, the difference

Thf WHOLE PROFITS sro to the Policy-holders on a system at once nife and equitable, no share being
given to those by whose early death there is a loss to the Cnmmnn Fnnd. The effect of reserving Uie snrplns
for the surrivors (who will, howeyer, comprise more than half the members) has been that Policies haTC already
haen increased from £1,000 to £1,400, £1,700 and npwards.

Extracts from Opinions of the Press on the above :
The Church Quarterly Review says :— 'This book is a perfect gem. . . . It ii indeed a relief to turn to
such matchless designs as these. It would be impossible to speak too highly of the knowledge of the
history of art, the elevation of thought, and the elegance of style which Mr. Palgrave diqilays.*
The Academy sars :— 'This is a very beautiful book, and the duromo-lithographs with which it is adomed, or
rather, which are illustrated by the text, reflect great credit on the oare and skill of all conoened in
their production.'
The Athenaeum eays :— * By way of preface, a highly intelligent and critical essay on the growth, aims, an<l
dcvclopmeuts of religious art in Italy, by Mr. F. T. Palgrave. Bach well-weighed and thonghtfal
sentence id worth reading. The general purport of the book is well represented by the title. Mr. F^^tc
vouches for the beauty of the drawings mfcde by Mr. Gk)odall, from which the chromo-llthographa were
taken. ... A very ambitioua effort has been extremely successful.*
The Art Journal fays :— ' A work which should bo the meet popular, as it must be the handsomest, of
Christmas books bearing a religious character. . . . Twenty*fonr wonderful little chromo-Uthogn^pte
from drawings made on the spot. . . . The volume is in every way a beautiful one.*
The Illustrations to the above work are also issued in Four Packet^^ of Six Pictures eaciy as
follows :
1. The ChUdhood of Christ.
3. The Passion of Christ.
2. The Ministry of Christ. 4. The Great Forty Days.
The Prophecy and Fulfilment of each event in the Life of Our Lord are printed on the back
of each Card in the words of Holy Scripture.
The Four Sets, which are suitable as Christmas, Lent, and Easter Cards, and for Reward Cards,
are issued in neat wrappers and sold separately, price 2«. 6cL each. Size, 6 inches by 4^ inches.
These Illustrations are likewise adopted in the following short volumes, which are specially
